Organic Ashwagandha powder

Organic Ashwagandha powder
Ashwagandha Withania somnifera, often referred to as “Indian ginseng” or “winter cherry”, has been used in Ayurveda, one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems, for more than 3000 years. It thrives in dry regions of India, the Middle East and parts of Africa. Its name “ashwagandha” is derived from Sanskrit, “ashwa” meaning “horse” and “gandha” meaning “scent”, perhaps referring to the strong smell of the root, believed to give vitality and horse power.
Ashwagandha is highly revered in Ayurveda and is used to treat health problems. The root is the most important part of the plant and is commonly used in various compositions to treat a variety of ailments.
Studies on ashwagandha have shown that it can be effective in reducing stress and anxiety. In addition, ashwagandha has been associated with improved sleep quality, hormone balance and increased physical endurance, especially by reducing fatigue and increasing strength and stamina.
