If we had to make a list of our favorite herbs, ashwagandha would be at the top. Also known as Indian ginseng, ashwagandha can be traced back more than 4,000 years. It is highly revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its value as a multipurpose herb to promote longevity, vitality, and happiness. Known for its grounding and restorative properties, ashwagandha supports the nervous and endocrine systems and promotes a natural sleep cycle. As a nourishing tonic, ashwagandha can help the body adapt to stressful conditions. When the body is stressed, the immune and nervous systems can be affected, leaving a person feeling depleted. Adaptogenic herbs such as ashwagandha help nourish and restore optimal nervous and immune system health by supporting normal energy levels and overall immune function.
