When stress has me needing to calm down and build back up. Coming to us from Ayurvedic wisdom, It is a traditional rasayana or rejuvenation herb. It has been worked with over centuries as a calming nervine aiding the body to handle stress better. It is now called an “adaptogen” in Western herbalism. Adaptogens, which have become quite well known in recent years, have what I consider a scale of energetic response to them. If going from 1 to 10, 1 attempting to bring the body to a balanced state through improved calmness, and 10 attempting to bring the body to a balanced state through improved energy, I consider Ashwagandha to be about a 3. It is the most soothing of all the adaptogens that I currently know. Ashwagandha has also been noted for centuries to aid libido and male system vitality and balance. Other aspects of ashwaganda that have been called upon by many for years is its reputation to carry power as an iron rich, anti inflammatory, and antispasmodic herb.These statements are not approved by the FDA or intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prescribe.
