Melatonin is created by the pineal gland or epiphysis, a small area located deep within the brain. Hinduism was the first to take an interest in this gland, viewing it as the ultimate centre of vitality. They called it “the gateway to rest and perfect harmony”. It also embodies the famed “third eye” of Dharmic spiritual traditions..

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body. It regulates our sleep cycles and, unlike other hormones, can only be generated in low lighting conditions. It is essential for good quality sleep and keeps you from waking up during the night.
