A beloved botanical with a broad range of therapeutic benefits
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most treasured botanicals in the ancient medical system of India. In fact, this adaptogenic botanical, often referred to as the Prince of Herbs, is considered a flagship botanical in Ayurveda, which is an ancient system of medicine, boasting a broad range of therapeutic benefits.
This botanical has been used for thousands of years to calm and normalize the body and reduce the effects of stress, as was shown in a study of chronically stressed individuals given ashwagandha root extract.* Numerous studies support its use for cognitive function, stress, muscle strength, endurance and recovery, glucose metabolism, hormone balance, sexual function, and thyroid health.*
