The kitchen's tidy, the emails have stopped, and the day still hasn't quite let go.
Night Calm is the blend for that gap. All three of its herbs have been traditionally taken in India as the day winds down.
Ashwagandha leads. Its botanical name, somnifera, is a nod to sleep, and it is traditionally taken to unwind. Brahmi, or bacopa, is the counterpoint, cool where ashwagandha is warm, and traditionally used to quieten a busy mind at the day's end. Nutmeg finishes it, warm and comforting, traditionally taken in warm milk at bedtime for a restful night, and used here in the small amount the tradition uses.
How the blend works
Ashwagandha brings warmth and grounding as the day slows down. Nutmeg deepens that settling warmth, and brahmi quietens a busy mind, so the blend never feels heavy. Ayurveda has a regimen for the night, Ratricharya, and treats the evening as a transition from activity towards rest. This blend is built for exactly that.
Two of these herbs are in Daily Calm as well. What changes is which one leads, how much of each goes in, and the third herb alongside them. That is the whole difference between a morning blend and an evening one.
The formula
Ashwagandha (leads): named somnifera, traditionally taken to unwind
Brahmi (quietens): traditionally used to quieten a busy mind at day's end
Nutmeg (settles): taken in warm milk at bedtime, traditionally for a restful night
Magnesium (completes): contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
What you might notice:
In the first one to two weeks, calmer, more settled evenings as the routine takes hold
By six to eight weeks, an easier wind-down and more restful nights, evening after evening
These are traditional uses, built on centuries of practice.
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

FAQs
-
Night Calm is an organic Ayurvedic evening blend of ashwagandha, brahmi and nutmeg, with magnesium from organic sea lettuce. It comes as 60 vegan capsules, a one-month supply at two capsules a day, and is certified organic by the Soil Association.
-
600mg of organic ashwagandha root per two-capsule serving, the amount used in most modern research on the herb. It is joined by 300mg of organic brahmi and 100mg of organic nutmeg, plus magnesium from organic sea lettuce.
-
Take two capsules with your evening meal, at the same time each evening. Ashwagandha has been traditionally taken at the end of the day in India for a very long time, and the blend is built around that.
-
Tulsi is light and lifting, which suits the day. In the evening Ayurveda looks for the opposite, so nutmeg takes its place, a warm, settling spice traditionally taken in warm milk before bed.
-
Yes. The two are made to work together, Daily Calm for the day and Night Calm for the evening. If you already take ashwagandha or brahmi on its own, avoid doubling up.
-
Weeks rather than days, which is normal in Ayurveda. Many find evenings calmer and more settled in the first one to two weeks, with an easier wind-down and more restful nights by six to eight weeks.
-
Usually fine. Night Calm isn't designed as a magnesium supplement, so it can sit alongside your own. If you have concerns about total intake, medication or a medical condition, speak to a healthcare professional.
-
If you take medication, particularly for the thyroid, blood pressure, diabetes, epilepsy, mood, anxiety or sleep, or take blood thinners or immunosuppressants, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting. Night Calm is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
-
With supplements, what goes into the soil goes into the herb. Organic certification means our herbs are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, independently verified by the Soil Association. For something taken every day, we think that distinction matters.
-
Yes. It is Certified Vegan by The Vegan Society, in a plant cellulose capsule, and the magnesium comes from organic sea lettuce.
