About Ashwaganda

Ashwagandha, often referred to as "Indian ginseng," is a powerful herb with origins in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Native to India and parts of Southeast Asia, it’s derived from the roots and leaves of the Withania somnifera plant. Known for its adaptogenic properties, ashwagandha is renowned for helping the body manage stress, enhance energy levels, and promote mental clarity. It contains compounds like withanolides, which are believed to support immune function and reduce inflammation. Ashwagandha is commonly used in powdered form, teas, capsules, or as a supplement, and it has a long history in Indian cuisine and herbal remedies. While generally considered safe for most people, excessive consumption might lead to upset stomach or interactions with certain medications. Rich in antioxidants and cortisol-lowering effects, ashwagandha stands out as a natural way to support overall well-being.
