ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is a traditional Indian herb with a history of use extending back over 5,000 years. It is particularly significant in Ayurveda and is often mentioned in classical writings associated with this traditional system.

In Ayurvedic texts, ashwagandha is categorized within traditional classifications that reflect its historical role and cultural importance. These classifications are part of the broader framework used to organize botanical knowledge within Ayurveda.

Background: Its Hindu name means "Horse smell," because the herb smells like a sweaty horse. This herb has been used for centuries in India as food ingredient.

Description: Native to India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, is cultivated from seeds and the leaves, fruit, and root are harvested in the spring and fall. It grows as an erect shrub that sprouts yellow flowers and fresh berries.

The ashwaganda root is powdered or dried as are the leaves while the berries are chewed in some parts of the world or dried for later use.

Safety: Unknown if Ashwagandha is safe for pregnant and nursing women. Used safely by children in India. Do not take Ashwagandha if congested.
