To get proper ayurvedic herbs, you should probably see a practioner, as some herbs have different effects on different constitutions. Stress relieving techniques prior to trying to sleep, and not eating for a longer period before sleeping than you currently practice may help. Try smudging with cedar.

I certainly prefer the descriptor "excellent" as opposed to "monstrous" :-) (er, ah, and WHERE do I get this? :-) All kidding aside, this is an example of why simplistic blanket statements can both be true and untrue. This sounds a bit like gingseng. Gingseng is an excellent rejuvenator for someone with a debilitated system, especially old people. It isn't meant for young people. If a young person is taking it, it's a symptom of some underlying condition that needs attention - in modern society, commonly that would be poor diet, meat eating, debauchery whatever. If you need gingseng as a young person, what will you have for old age? IMHO, gingseng should be saved for old age. So similarly it may be that ashwagnada is excellent for someone with a system weakened by old age or disease, but be aprodesiac for someone with normal energy levels. In any case, seems like a safe course for taking it might be better in the morning then right before bed, if celibacy is a concern. It may be that taken singly it acts one way, while in complex with other herbs or regimens, act in another. It may be a difference between taking a concentrated extract it over amps the system, while taken as a whole herb, some other bioactive ingredient acts as a governor on the throttle of sexual impulse.
