Originating from parts of India, the Middle East, and Africa, Ashwagandha is an ancient herb that has been in use for thousands of years. Ashwagandha roots are known for their pungent smell, with the name “Ashwa” meaning horse for its scent. The roots of the ashwagandha shrub are often described as tube-like.
They are prepared by being harvested, dried and ground down into a fine powder.
And because ashwagandha is classified as an adaptogen, it’s packed full of amino acids and vitamins to help our body adapt to all kinds of stressors. It’s neat stuff!
