I dont know about the powder form but if it is in oil form than it's most common use is Jatamansi root oil is used mainly for calming the nervous system and mind. It is used mainly for vata types who long for rest and peaceful sleep, but it is also used to help focus awareness during meditation. Because it is thought to increase courage, strength, and power, it is used for balancing all doshas. They put the extract of this oil into commercial oils like Hesh brands like this one Welcome To Hesh Herbal. But thats all I know about the oil one.
