About: Our Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) tincture is created from fresh roots cultivated with organic methods in beautiful Mount Shasta, CA. In autumn, we harvest our Ashwagandha roots before the first full frost and tincture them fresh in organic cane alcohol. Ashwagandha or “Indian Ginseng” is a greatly revered herb in Ayurvedic tradition and has a variety of beneficial properties. Known for its adaptogenic, immune modulating and anti-inflammatory properties, this tincture can be used as a daily long term tonic to enhance and restore many bodily functions.
Ashwagandha’s adaptogenic properties can increase energy, stamina and overall vitality, while supporting healthy nervous system functioning when used long term. It can aid the body’s response and resistance to stress, promote restorative sleep and relieve anxiety. Ashwagandha can also normalize hormonal and reproductive functions, and be useful in increasing fertility. A body wide anti-inflammatory, Ashwagandha can be used for chronic inflammatory, degenerative and auto-immune conditions as well as joint and nerve pain. Long term use can aid rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and other chronic debilitating conditions. Ashwagandha is often indicated in protocols for Lyme disease and auto-immune thyroid conditions, like Hashimoto’s, for its immune modulating, anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic virtues.
