The name Ashwagandha translates to “smell of the horse” in Sanskrit, referring to both the herb’s strong aroma and its reputed ability to increase strength and vitality, similar to that of a horse. The plant is native to India and North Africa and is primarily known for its roots, which are rich in compounds that support stress resilience and overall health.
