Ashwagandha

What is Ashwagandha?

Ashwagandha is a powerful herb that has been used by natural medicine practitioners for thousands of years. Though Western scientists have only been studying this herb for a few decades, clinical research is beginning to catch up with natural medicine by confirming its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and rejuvenating effects.

A shrub with yellow flowers, oval leaves and small red berries, ashwagandha belongs to the Solanaceae family like the tomato and is native to arid regions of India, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Its name comes from the Sanskrit word for “the smell of a horse,” partly because its root smells like horse sweat and because it’s thought to impart the vigor of a stallion to those who ingest it. The scientific name for the herb is Withania somnifera.

How does it work?

Often called “Indian ginseng” for its rejuvenating properties, ashwagandha contains withanolides — naturally occurring steroidal substances — and alkaloids, along with amino acids and a variety of sugars. The combination of these components makes ashwagandha an adaptogen, meaning it helps your body adapt to internal and external stressors, like anxiety, disease and toxins. The herb helps relax the nervous system, reduce inflammation throughout the body and enhance the immune system’s ability to fight off disease.
