Ashwagandha is one of the key rasayanas of Ayurvedic medicine. Rasayana is a Sanskrit term for remedies that sustain vital force, slow ageing and restore the body after depletion. The Sanskrit name reveals the character of the root: "ashwa" - horse, "gandha" - smell - but not only the smell, strength and endurance too. Over three thousand years - and today Ashwagandha remains one of the few adaptogens where clinical trials in humans confirm what tradition has long known.

Tradition of use

In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha was prescribed to warriors for recovery after battle, to the elderly for maintaining vitality and to children for strengthening the body during growth. The capsule form preserves all the benefits of the root in a convenient daily format - without the characteristic earthy taste of the powder.

How does Ashwagandha work?

Adaptogenic activity and stress - the most studied area. Clinical studies document the influence on cortisol levels and subjective stress perception with regular intake. Ashwagandha is one of the few adaptogens with randomized clinical trials in humans.

Sleep quality - the influence on sleep onset and sleep depth is studied in the context of glycowithanolides - withanolide derivatives that interact with GABA receptors. Hence the Latin species name "somnifera" - sleep-bearing.

Physical recovery - studies document influence on muscle strength, endurance and recovery markers after exertion. Hormonal support - the influence on testosterone levels in men and thyroid function is studied. An area with limited but growing evidence base. 

How to Use

With warm milk - the traditional Ayurvedic and most bioavailable method. Add 1 teaspoon (2-3g) of powder to 200ml of warm milk - dairy or plant-based. Add honey or cinnamon if desired. Milk fats increase the absorption of fat-soluble withanolides - this is where tradition and modern science align.

Brewing in water - add the powder to hot water (80-90°C) and steep for 5-10 minutes. The taste is earthy with a slight bitterness - characteristic of the root. Honey can be added.

Stirring in water or beverage - a quick option for daily intake. Add to warm water, smoothie or yogurt and stir.

Recommended dose: 1-2 teaspoons (2-4g) per day. Course from 4-8 weeks of daily intake - cumulative effect.
