Whole ashwagandha root (Withania somnifera) from a single cooperative near Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, washed, shade-dried and milled fine, then filled at 500 mg into a vegetarian cellulose capsule. We use the ground root rather than a standardised extract, because the classical texts prescribe the root itself in churna form.
In Ayurveda, ashwagandha is classed as a balya and rasayana herb, traditionally used to support strength, steady sleep and the body’s response to exertion and stress. Take it with warm milk at night, or with water after meals. Consult a physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking thyroid or sedative medication.
