an ancient medicinal herb...
Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda, a form of alternative medicine based on Indian principles of natural healing and has been used for over 3,000 years to relieve stress, increase energy levels, and improve concentration.

Ashwagandha's botanical name is Withania somnifera, it’s also known by other names like Indian ginseng or winter cherry. It's a small shrub with yellow flowers that’s native to India and North Africa. Extracts or powder from the plant’s root or leaves are used to treat a variety of conditions.

Many of its health benefits are attributed to its high concentration of withanolides, which have been shown to fight inflammation and tumor growth. In several studies, ashwagandha has been shown to lower blood sugar levels. Cortisol is known as a stress hormone given that your adrenal glands release it in response to stress, as well as when your blood sugar levels get too low. In addition to its anti-inflammatory effects, ashwagandha may help improve heart health by reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
