It is native to India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It has been used for over 3,000+ years to relieve stress, increase energy levels, and concentration.

In the Middle East, it is used to help promote normal sleep patterns and encourage a healthy inflammatory response.

Taking this herb was customary after an illness to improve the immune system. In addition, ashwagandha is also used to enhanced sexual potency for both men and women. This herb actually helps men and women achieve orgasm. Ashwagandha roughly translates to, "the smell and strength of a horse," alluding to its aphrodisiac properties.

Ashwagandha is classified as an adaptogen, which means it promotes homeostasis in your body and enhances its ability to deal with stress. When we are stressed, we pump out more of the hormone cortisol, and studies show that ashwagandha can reduce the amount of it by as much as 26%. This is great news, because chronically elevated cortisol levels increase inflammation and degenerative processes in the body.
