In Ayurvedic medicine, Ashwagandha is a primary strengthening tonic, used for debility, inflammatory conditions, premature ageing, low libido, impotence and infertility. It may also strengthen the nervous and immune systems. Unlike many other adaptogens and aphrodisiacs, Ashwagandha is not over-stimulating; and may actually promote sound sleep, as well as meditation. It is also used for weak knees and back, joint and nerve pain, and arthritis.

I'm very happy with the results. It's very calming for my anxiety and very helpful with aiding my sleep. Planning on mixing Lemon Balm powder and Passion Flower powder with it for more bang !!! I take it straight as a powder and mix it with saliva in my mouth. The taste is OK and it works.
