Sleep Assist is a natural supplement that according to the producing company “relaxes the mind and body and is excellent for insomnia, it helps stabilize blood and circulatory energy, increasing memory and acting as a tonic to the heart and nerves.” This product is manufactured by Traditional Tibetan Healing Inc., a company that develops and sells a wide range of brain supplements and herbal blends for many different health concerns. The company is located in Malden, Massachusetts, United States but most of their supplements are produced in Walung, Nepal, close to the Tibetan border.
Traditional Tibetan Healing Inc claims all their products are natural, highly effective and free from all types of heavy metal contamination. They also state that a portion of the profits from the sale of all products goes to various Tibet-related charities.
Sleep Assist Ingredients
Sleep Assist contains: Myristica fragrans (Nutmeg), Spondias axillaris (Hog plum), Bambusa arundinacea (Bamboo), Terminalia chebula (Chebulic myrobalan), Mesua ferrea (Ironwood tree), Saussurea lappa (Costus), Aquilaria agallocha (Eaglewood), Shorea robusta (White sal tree), Pterocarpus santalinus (Red sandalwood), Eugenia caryophyllata (Clove), Crocus sativus (Saffron), Inula racemosa (Elecampane) and Emblica officinalis (Emblic myrobalan).
Product Features
There are a few key ingredients incorporated into Sleep Assist. First, and maybe the most important is the Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) that was used due to its properties to alleviate stress disorders, stress disorders associated with the heart, angina pectoris and indigestion.
Red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) is well known for its properties in “cleaning” the impure blood, for treating hotness disorders of the blood, subsides swelling and blood and stress disorders associated imbalances.
Ironwood tree (Mesua ferrea) is used for various spleen disorders including swollen spleen and to normalize dark or reddish brown lips, while the White sal tree (Shorea robusta) is well known for its arthritis and antipruritic properties.
While the company provides enough background for the ingredients, there is no explanations on how these ingredients should work together to deliver the promised results. Taken individually, each plant may be useful in its own way but as a mixture, their properties may change. As far as we can tell, there are no conducted studies to support the manufacturer’s claims regarding this product effectiveness.
The price is $25.95 for a single bottle (30 servings per bottle). The producer of Sleep Assist states that the supplement starts to work within 15 to 20 minutes and the formula is typically taken up to a month to help patients with a chronic sleep problem.

Conclusion
The United States consumers have shown a growing interest in traditional systems of healing from ancient cultures of the East since the 1960’s. Individuals who are not entirely satisfied with traditional Western or allopathic medicine have turned toward the East seeking its wisdom in treading a wide range of body and mind illnesses.
Traditional Tibetan Healing products, including Sleep Assist may be considered by the consumer who is unable to achieve restful sleep due to nervous tension and stress.
Sleep Assist is a natural supplement that contains several well known herbal ingredients into its mixture. While each of these ingredients may play a huge role in treating various mind and body problems, the company was unable to prove us that their mixture can achieve the same performances.
The company claims are bold and supported by each ingredient properties. However, there are no studies or clinical tests to show that Sleep Assist has the same key properties as each individual ingredient used into the mixture.

I’m sorry to be the one to tell you, but it actually is a waste of money. Didn’t help me at all!
Sleep Assist sounded pretty good, though it claims plenty, and it bought it out of pure curiosity. So far after 2 weeks I don’t feel much different. Hope it’s not a complete waste of my money and actually does something for my anxiety and insomnia.
i got some of this a few months back and take it and it helped me get the sleep i need so no more late night tv for me
