Ashwaganda Plants
Information
Ashwagandha, (withania somnifera) sometimes known as Withania, has traditionally been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to help with fatigue and balance the mind, body and spirit.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, which is a herb that helps regulate the body systems when dealing with stress.
It is used to restore health to the nervous system and eases stress, mental exhaustion & chronic fatigue, promoting mental clarity, memory and stamina, especially for athletes.
As a tonic, it can promote growth in children, improve athletic ability, supportive for the elderly, and improve recovery after illness or during convalescence.
Ashwagandha is a powerful anti-imflammatory, helpful for chronic diseases involving inflammation, such as rheumatism, joint pain and neuralgia, osteoarthritis, and any bone degeneration.
It can also improve libido in both males and females and helps maintain healthy reproductive systems.
Ashwagandha has an immune-modulating effect, showing to be helpful during debility, immune deficiency, emaciation and during chemotherapy or radiotherapy to prevent exhaustion and proliferation of cancer cells.
It supports insomnia, improving sleep and relaxation.
It also has high iron content so is helpful for anaemia and blood platelet counts.
Ashwagandha likes to grow in a warm, sunny spot, away from frost, in free-draining soil. It grows into a decent sized bush, up to 75cm high.
The root is harvested after the plant has died down in autumn, (or you can harvest after the first frost), or you can winter the plant in a greenhouse or indoors, if you prefer to keep it growing.
Organically grown herb, in a compostable or recycled pot.
