Ashwagandha

Withania somnifera | Adaptogen · Stress · Vitality · Sleep

For thousands of years, Ayurvedic healers across India turned to one root above all others when their patients needed to restore strength, calm the mind, and rebuild from the inside out. That root was Ashwagandha — and modern science is now confirming what ancient practitioners already knew.

Named from Sanskrit meaning "strength of a horse," Ashwagandha is one of the world's most studied adaptogens — herbs that help your body respond to stress rather than be overwhelmed by it.* We carry whole dried cut root, the traditional form, so you can brew it the way it was always meant to be used.

Why Ashwagandha?

• May support muscle strength, power, and exercise recovery*

How to Brew

1. Simmer 1 tsp dried root in 8–10oz of water for 10–15 minutes
2. Strain and enjoy 1–2 cups daily
3. Add honey, ginger, oat milk, or cinnamon to enhance flavor

Traditional tip: Ashwagandha has an earthy, slightly bitter taste — pairing it with warm milk and honey (golden milk style) is a traditional and delicious way to take it. For best results, use consistently for 4–8 weeks.
