tranquillising
Making someone drowsy
Tranquillising is the British spelling of tranquilizing—administering a sedative drug to calm or sedate a person or animal: The veterinarian tranquillised the bear before relocating it.
Figuratively, anything that soothes or quiets can be tranquillising: the tranquillising effect of the ocean waves.
