In Ayurveda, Tagar is commonly known as “Sugandh Bala” or “Mushkbala” in Urdu/Hindi regions. Its botanical name is Valeriana wallichii, related to valerian root used for sleep and calming the mind.
You can ask the Pansari for:
Sugandh Bala
Mushkbala
Tagar root
Valeriana wallichii
Ayurvedic Use for Sleep
Tagar is traditionally used for:
Difficulty falling asleep
Stress-related insomnia
Mental restlessness
Mild anxiety and overthinking
Simple Traditional Usage
Tagar powder: usually taken in small doses at bedtime with warm water or milk.
Or tagar tab - 1 tab twice a day after meal
It is often combined with:
Brahmi
Jatamansi
Ashwagandha
Since your sleep issue seems related partly to stress and screen exposure, also try:
Avoid phone/TV 1 hour before sleep
Warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night
Regular sleep timing
Deep breathing before bed

••In Urdu and Unani medicine, Tagar (Valeriana wallichii / Indian Valerian) is most commonly and traditionally called Asaroon (اسارون).

••​In local markets and herbal stores (Pansari shops) across India and Pakistan, it is also frequently referred to by its descriptive regional names:
••​Mushkbala (مشک بالا) (referring to its strong, musky-aromatic roots)

••​Sugandhbala (سوگندھ بالا)
••Form: Tagar Root Powder (Churna) or Tablets/Capsules.

​Dosage:
•​Powder: 1 \text{ to } 2 \text{ grams} (approximately \frac{1}{4} to \frac{1}{2} teaspoon).
•​Tablets: 1 to 2 tablets (typically 250\text{mg} - 500\text{mg} each).
••​Anupana (Vehicle): Always consume it with a cup of lukewarm milk mixed with a pinch of nutmeg (Jaiphal) or a teaspoon of mishri/honey. Milk contains tryptophan, which works synergistically with Tagar to enhance sleep quality.
••​Timing: Take it 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime.
••Do Not Overdose: Tagar has a heavy (Guru) and oily (Snigdha) property. In excess or if taken for prolonged periods (more than 6–8 weeks continuously), it can cause mild dependency, daytime sluggishness, or digestive heaviness
