What is ashwagandha?

Ashwagandha is a plant that contains many powerful properties. The name ‘ashwagandha’ simply means “the smell of a horse”, hinting at the idea that this powerful plant can impart the strength and vigour of a stallion. Originating in India, the Middle East and northern Africa, the organic ashwagandha plant belongs to the same family as the tomato, with yellow flowers, oval leaves and grows a raisin sized red fruit. 

This plant has been used frequently in Ayurvedic medicine for many many years, dating back thousands of years. The powerful properties that the ashwagandha plant carries have been prescribed to treat  a variety of ailments including stress, joint pain, fatigue, low endurance, poor memory, anxiety, sleeping issues, hormone imbalance and low immune system to name a few.
