Ashwagandha

Introduction.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera),also known as Indian ginseng, is an adaptogen that Ayurvedic medicine uses to support “youthful vigor” endurance and improve overall health. It also helps the body resist the damaging effects of acute or chronic stress, recover normal physiological functioning in individuals suffering from age-related symptoms, and increase longevity. Traditional Persian medicine recommends Ashwagandha for treatment of impotency, premature ejaculation, oligospermia, polyarthritis, lumbago, painful swellings, plague, asthma, vitiligo, and general weakness, ulcers, uterine infection, hemorrhoid, and inflammation of the testicles.
