Namaste, 5-HTP (from Griffonia simplicifolia) is known to increase serotonin levels in the body, which can influence mood, sleep, and emotional balance. However, since you have mentioned existing mental health concerns and recent use of other supplements/medications, caution is very important. The focus should be on safe and stable support for the mind rather than directly altering neurotransmitters without supervision. 5-HTP may not be suitable for everyone, especially: If you are already taking antidepressants or psychiatric medicines If there is a history of anxiety disorders, mood fluctuations, or other mental health conditions It should not be taken without proper medical guidance in such cases, as it may lead to unwanted effects due to excess serotonin Instead, Ayurveda focuses on gently supporting mental balance, sleep, and stress adaptation. Maintain a regular sleep routine, avoid late nights, and reduce screen exposure before bed. Include warm milk at night, along with calming practices like meditation or deep breathing. Avoid excessive caffeine and irregular eating habits. Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing: Brahmi Ghrita – 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm milk Ashwagandha Churna – 1 teaspoon, twice daily with warm milk Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily after food These are traditionally used to support mental clarity, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality in a gradual and balanced way. With consistent use, improvement in mood and sleep can be observed over a few weeks. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
