Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha Root & Powder / अश्वगंधा

Ashwagandha is Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal. This listing offers dried root in Natural and Powder forms. It is a raw-herb listing, rather than a standardized extract, capsule or leaf preparation.

Choose the Right Form

Choose Natural if you need unground dried root for a practitioner-directed preparation. Choose Powder if you need the ground root form. Select the size and form for its current price and availability; pack size is not a therapeutic dose.

Ayurvedic Heritage

Aśvagandhā (Root) is listed in the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. The official Siddha reference also identifies Amukkarā root. These references establish traditional raw-material identity; they do not certify this supplier lot or promise health outcomes.

How to Use

Follow verified pack directions and advice from a qualified healthcare or Ayurvedic professional. Powder may be used in a practitioner-directed preparation, but no universal dose or daily course is prescribed here. Raw root powder and standardized extracts are not interchangeable.
