Ashwagandha


Ashwagandha (also called Ashvanganda, Withania, Indian Ginseng or winter cherry) is an herb used as a powder or extract, rich in vitamins A and C, and minerals like iron and calcium. It has a slightly bitter, earthy taste. It has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years as a “vitalizer”. It is often described as an adaptogen (a class of herbs and mushrooms that help the body adapt to physical, mental and biological stress).

It is rejuvenating, balancing, strengthening, and calming to the nervous system. Ashwaganda is useful for relieving fatigue, nervous exhaustion, and memory loss. This herb also has a reputation as an aphrodisiac and is believed to help prevent sterility in males and sexual ailments.

Historically ashwagandha root has also been noted to have libido enhancing properties. A mild sedative, ashwaganda reduces mental chatter and promotes calm sleep. It also promotes tissue regeneration and slows the aging process.

It is excellent for use in body building and for any type of physical sport, as it gives an instant charge of long-lasting energy without the use of stimulants.

In traditional practices, ashwagandha is used to enhance vitality, improve focus, and support overall wellness.
