Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Shankhapushpi are known for their calming effects on the nervous system and can help to reduce anxiety and stress. Tulsi has adaptogenic properties that help the body adapt to stress and promote overall well-being. Honey adds sweetness and also has antibacterial properties.
