Ashwagandha 4:1

History:

Ashwagandha is a woody shrub that generally grows to about three feet in height, but some species are known to reach heights of seven feet. The plant is found in such diverse locations as India, Sri Lanka, Africa, the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, and the various geographic locations slightly influence the properties of each species. Ashwagandha derives its name from a Hindi word, meaning “horse's smell,” and the description refers not only to the odor of the horse, but also calls to mind the strength of the horse. Since antiquity, Ayurvedic physicians have used Ashwagandha as a rejuvenating tonic. Its use extends back four thousand years and is mentioned in the teachings of the great Indian sage, Punarvasu Atriya.The primary chemical constituents of this herb include alkaloids, steroidal lactones and the compounds known as withanoloids, which are believed to account for the multiple herbal applications of this herb. It also contains iron. Today's scientists are studying and substantiating, through technology, many of the complex applications of Ashwagandha and other herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine so many years ago.
