or for 48 capsules
Two-ounce container of the ground root. Often used for people who are undergoing chemotherapy. According to Ayurvedic theory Ashwagandha builds ojas. A thirty day series of enzymatic processes transform lymph fluid into ojas, which is the body's most specialized tissue. Ojas controls reproduction, immunity and general health.
Ojas depletion can be caused by stress, which triggers stress fighting hormones and free radicals that in turn cause degeneration of the immune and other physiological systems. This stress-induced reaction can open the way for illness and disease.
Ashwagandha is also used to prevent stress related gastrointestinal ulcers. It increases physical endurance, calcium level and libido and sexual function. It prevents the depletion of vitamin C and cortisol thereby slowing down graying of hair.
In Ayurvedic theory Ashwagandha balances both nervous system and musculoskeletal system. Therefore, it is helpful with fatigue and nervous exhaustion and increases digestive heat in chronic conditions. In arthritis, which involves joints that are painful, dry, swollen and inflamed, Ashwagandha would be the herb of choice.
Ashwagandha is effective for insomnia but does not act as a sedative. It can be helpful for pitta and vata individuals but not for kapha as it can cause weight gain.
The Department of Nuclear Medicine, Radiotherapy & Oncology, School of Medical Sciences in Malaysia has concluded that Withania somnifera has potential against cancer-related fatigue, in addition to improving the quality of life.
Natural Anabolic Training Aid: Another area where Ashwagandha is becoming popular is in sports and athletics. Endurance athletes who train heavily, such as long-distance runner and cyclists, are very prone to infections. Excess cortisol produced in response to the heavy training load suppresses the immune system. It can also lead to muscle and tendon tears as the muscles are weakened due to protein loss under the influence of cortisol. With its muscle preserving qualities, Ashwagandha is the perfect natural anabolic training aid for the serious athlete.

A flurry of new research from around the world on Ashwagandha is proving the medicinal effects of this ancient Ayurvedic herbal remedy are more than just anecdotal.
The past year has been banner year for Ashwagandha research. Numerous studies confirmed its healing properties in a variety of conditions, including stress, toxicity, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s, skin cancer, tuberculosis, liver toxicity and many others.
