Ashwagandha
What is Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)?
Ashwagandha is an ancient Ayurvedic plant known for its adaptogenic properties, which help the body better cope with stress and improve overall well-being. The ashwagandha shrub, known as "sleeping vitania", "winter cherry", "physalis sun-leaved", and indeed, "Indian ginseng", grows in arid regions of Asia and is cultivated mainly in India, China, Yemen, and Sri Lanka. The fruits are edible, but rarely eaten, and ashwagandha itself is valued in traditional medicine due to the medicinal properties of the root, which contains several specific active substances. Due to their action, withania preparations are actively used in Ayurvedic practice. The plant is also studied by official medicine as a promising raw material for the treatment of a wide range of diseases.
