🌿An Ayurvedic & Adaptogenic herb used for thousands of years for regeneration, rejuvenation, and as a general tonic. It is highly valued for its ability to strengthen the immune system, balance hormone levels and its anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used for all types of weakness or debility, whether from an illness, malnutrition, old age, overwork, insomnia, or any other case in which the body and its tissues are weak. It is considered calming and clarifying to the mind, and used to promote deep sleep without overly sedative effects. Recently, Ashwagandha was shown to slow the circulation of adrenaline in the bloodstream, making it useful for all types of anxiety, panic, and hypertension. Ashwagandha also has an affinity for the reproductive systems both men and women, and is used in all cases of dis-ease or malfunction of the sexual organs, as well as to improve and tone those systems in already healthy people. It is also used to balance the hormone system, and as an aphrodisiac.
