😇 Deep, restful sleep is the foundation of good health.
If you struggle with sleeplessness, here are some powerful, traditional home remedies that help calm the mind and promote sound sleep:
✓ Wash your hands and feet with cool water before going to bed and apply oil on the scalp to relax the nervous system and induce sleep.
✓ Consume a small pinch of nutmeg (jaiphal) with water—a well-known Ayurvedic remedy for natural sleep.

✓ Take piprimool (long pepper root) powder and massage warm castor oil on your feet to reduce stress and improve sleep quality.
