Ashwagandha, the magical herb, is considered to be nature's gift to mankind. For centuries, ayurvedic medicine has used it to treat people for their day to day woes such as stress, anxiety, exhaustion, lack of sleep et al. And with an abundance of antioxidants, iron and amino acids, it's no surprise that ashwagandha is one of the most powerful herbs in ayurvedic healing. It is classified as a rasayana i.e. Rejuvenation in ayurveda and expected to promote physical and mental health, restore the body and increase longevity. It has been glorified over time for its dual capacity to energise and calm at the same time. But what exactly is ashwagandha? the sanskrit term ashwagandha translates to "smell of horse", and rightly so. Traditionally, it is believed that a person who consumes this herbal medicine will gain horse-like strength and vitality. It is a small shrub with yellow flowers and a red fruit, native to india, north africa, and the middle east. The extract is typically taken from the berries or roots of the plant. It is also referred to as withania somnifera (latin name), indian ginseng or winter cherry.
