Ashwagandha Root Powder
Scientific Name: Withania somnifera

Earthy, grounding, and deeply restorative, ashwagandha root powder is a finely milled form of the dried root of Withania somnifera. One of the most widely used herbs in Ayurveda, it is traditionally valued as an adaptogenic tonic that supports resilience, balance, and long-term vitality.

Plant Description:

Ashwagandha has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine as a rejuvenating “Rasayana” herb.
