Indian Wonder Herb, Ashwagandha, an Antidote for Stressful Living
The Indian herb, Ashwagandha, is one of the most highly regarded and commonly used adaptogens in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. Maximizing the body’s ability to resist stress, it enables the body to reserve and sustain vital energy throughout the day while promoting sound, restful sleep at night. Ashwagandha is an excellent herb for those who need to increase their energy levels to keep pace with the intense demands of modern living.
Used for centuries as an aphrodisiac and a rejuvenative for the male reproductive system, Ashwagandha is said to bestow upon the user the strength and virility of a horse. This potent herb is traditionally used to increase fertility and libido, and has been reported useful in treating impotence. The increase in vital energy provided by Ashwagandha can be used to improve sexual performance and control or can be rechanneled and transmuted into the vibrant energy associated with health and well-being.
Used by both men and women, Ashwagandha maintains proper nourishment of the tissues, particularly muscle and bone, while supporting proper function of the adrenals. Because of the herb’s rejuvenating qualities, it is commonly used for general debility, emaciation, and to aid in the recovery of debilitating illnesses. Ashwagandha is used by athletes to increase lean muscle mass and also makes a great general tonic for seniors.
Another benefit of this healing herb is that it acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and helps promote comfortable joint movement. In addition, Ashwagandha boosts immunity, and tones the heart and lungs while soothing and calming the nervous system.
Ashwagandha herb is available as a bulk powder or in tablet form. It can also be found in a variety of our herbal formulas including Stress Ease, Tranquil Mind, Men’s Support and Joint Support.
