Rating (out of 5): 2

Sumbul, also known as Nardostachys jatamansi or muskroot, has a history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Unani, Ayurveda, and Persian medicine. In these traditions, Sumbul has been valued for its calming and sedative properties, and it has been used to address various disturbances of the nervous system, including anxiety, insomnia, and headaches. These actions have been interpreted in some traditional texts as supporting the senses, particularly through calming nervous overactivity or sensory overload. However, the link between Sumbul and the direct support of the "Senses" body system (such as vision, hearing, taste, smell, or touch) is largely based on traditional doctrines rather than modern scientific evidence. There are few, if any, contemporary clinical studies that specifically validate Sumbul's effects on sensory organs or functions in humans. Most available research has focused on its neuroprotective or sedative effects in animal models. Therefore, while Sumbul's use for calming and nervous system support is well-rooted in tradition, its application specifically for the senses is supported mainly by traditional use, with limited direct scientific validation.
