Organic Ashwagandha Powder

Description

Ashwagandha, or Indian ginseng,  is one of the most popular herbs in Ayurveda because of its broad range of therapeutic effects and is rightly called the “Prince of Herbs”. Ashwagandha means “smell of the stallion” for the plant’s natural odor, while somnifera means “sleep-inducing”. The roots, leaves, and stems of the plant all have traditionally been used for their health benefits, but root preparations have been most widely employed (and most intensively researched). Happiest Harvest’s organic KSM-66 ashwagandha is the purest extract of only the ashwagandha root, one of the few herbs that show significant, positive effects on the human mind and body.

HEALTH BENEFITS:

According to Ayurveda, the root of the ashwagandha plant is used for adaptogenic benefits, and ingesting it can help reduce stress, anxiety, cortisol levels, and stress-related food cravings. It can also promote enhanced memory and cognitive function, improve endurance, strength, muscle size, and muscle recovery rate, enhance sexual performance health in both men and women, and increase testosterone levels in men. Recent pharmacological studies have also shown that ashwagandha promotes balance in the body and helps it successfully adapt to stressful conditions.

HOW TO USE:

The most common way of consuming ashwagandha is in its powdered form, but ashwagandha tastes bitter and doesn’t always mix well with food. It may not be tasty, but how much does taste really matter when you’re reaping incredible benefits like improved sleep, stabilized mood, and increased endurance in a few sips? Try mixing this miracle powder in teas, lattés, nut butter, porridge, or even homemade energy balls (chocolate is one of the best pairings!). You can also add ¼ or ½ a tablespoon of Happiest Harvest’s organic KSM-66 ashwagandha to a glass of warm milk before bedtime!
