What is Ashwagandha?

You might know Ashwagandha by one of its many other names including Winter Cherry or Indian Ginseng. This natural supplement originally comes from the Ashwagandha plant, which is a member of the Nightshade family. Ashwagandha is commonly used in ayurvedic medicine, which is an alternative or traditional medicine native to India, with the root of the plant providing the active ingredients.

As a complementary health product, Ashwagandha takes its name from the Sanskrit meaning related to a "horses smell", probably due to the earthy smell of the natural root.

What is Ashwagandha used for?

Ashwagandha is reported to have many uses and is claimed to provide great benefit to overall health and wellbeing. One of the most beneficial areas of use for Ashwagandha is in the support of the mind and body.
