Rating (out of 5): 2

Tagara, also known as Valeriana wallichii, is a herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, primarily for its calming and sedative properties. It has been used historically to support mental well-being, promote restful sleep, and alleviate anxiety. The connection between Tagara and the serotonin system is primarily based on the herb's traditional use for mood and relaxation, as serotonin is a key neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and sleep. However, direct scientific evidence linking Tagara specifically to modulation of serotonin levels or activity in the body is limited. Most research on the valerian family (including Valeriana officinalis) suggests possible effects on GABAergic neurotransmission rather than direct serotonergic activity. In summary, while Tagara is traditionally used for mood and sleep support—which are serotonin-related functions—the justification for its use to support the serotonin system is rooted in historical practice rather than strong scientific or clinical validation.
