Ashwagandha is a potent herb used in Ayurveda medicine. It is often known as "Indian Ginseng", though it is actually in the tomato family. It is most commonly grown in the Middle East, Africa and India (dry climates). Recent years, it has been grown in the United States as well.
For the past few months, Ashwagandha has been my most favorite supplement to take. In addition to Maca Root and Evening Primrose, this combination has been wonderful at helping me to balance my hormones, more specifically due to PMS symptoms. It is one of the best adaptogen for your system.
