ASHWAGHANDA Withania somnifera  "Indian Ginseng"
This ancient Ayurvedic herb is a powerful adaptogen. In the Yoga of Herbs, authors Frawley & Lad, say— "Ashwagandha holds a place in the Ayurvedic pharmacology similar to Ginseng in Chinese medicine, yet it is far less expensive. It is the best rejuvenative herb…in all conditions of weakness and tissue deficiency in children, the elderly, those debilitated by chronic diseases, those suffering from overwork, lack of sleep or nervous exhaustion…inhibits aging and catalyzes the anabolic processes…one of the best herbs for the mind upon which it is nurturing and clarifying. It is calming and promotes deep, dreamless sleep." Tanganykans use the root as a sexual stimulant, safe narcotic, sedative and tranquilizer. Employed for depression and addiction to alcohol. Brew as a tea or stir a spoonful into a glass of juice with a pinch of honey and cinnamon.
