Indigo Herbs Ashwagandha Tincture - 100ml

Pure Herbs

As a part of the ancient Indian system of Ayurveda, Ashwagandha has been cited in various scriptural medicas as far back as 6000 BC. The literal meaning of the name translates as "smell of the horse". This description alludes to the root of the plant having the odour of a horse ("ashwa"). Ashwagandha has been put under the reference of 'Rasayana' (tonic) in Ayurveda, in which it is used as a daily supplement. It has the Ayurvedic qualities of 'rasa' (astringent and bitter), as well as having a sweet taste or 'vipaka' and 'virya' effect (creating heat). This relates to the Ayurvedic Dosa system which uses explanations such as these to match a powder to an individuals constitution. The plant itself belongs to the Solanaceae or nightshade family and typically grows to a height of around 170cm. The fruits are small and either of a yellow or red colour growing mostly in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

This botanical ingredient has been carefully selected, dried and then processed into a tincture. This tincture is made from the root of the Withania somnifera plant. The botanical ingredient can be traced back to the growers at source. It is farmed sustainably and ethically in a farming co-operative in India. It is then manufactured in the UK to the highest medicinal GMP (Good manufacturing practice) and pharmacopeia standards for safety and efficacy.
