ASHWAGANDA

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), often referred to as “Indian ginseng” or “winter cherry,” is an adaptogenic herb that has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. 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.

Ashwagandha is highly regarded for its adaptogenic properties, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and maintain balance in the face of physical or mental strain. It is often used to improve energy levels, enhance mental clarity, boost immunity, and promote overall wellness.

Ashwagandha is best known for its ability to reduce stress and anxiety levels. Its adaptogenic properties help regulate the body’s stress response, promoting a sense of calm and emotional balance
