Description

Ashwagandha is considered to have a wide range of health benefits, particularly as a rejuvenative and adaptogenic herb

“अश्वगंधा बलकृष्णा तु रूक्षा तु लघु कामिनी।
वातकफहर कृत् सर्वावयविनुत् ||”

 

“Ashvagandha balakr̥shnā tu rūkṣā tu laghu kāminī।
Vātakaphahara kṛt sarvāvayavinut ||”

This is also from the Charaka Samhita and describes some of the properties and benefits of Ashwagandha. It translates to:

“Ashwagandha is a strength-promoting, black-coloured and dry herb, which is light in nature. It is beneficial for the diseases caused by Vata and Kapha doshas, and helps to strengthen all the bodily tissues.”
