Ashwagandha is one of the most important Ayurvedic herbs and THE Ayurvedic stress reliever because it is considered harmonizing!

In Latin, the plant is called Withania somnifera – a combination of the words withan (scientist) and somnifera (sleep-inducing). In Sanskrit, Ashwagandha means something like "the smell of a horse," which is perhaps why I particularly like it. A visit to the stable is always calming for me.
Ashwagandha is a shrub that grows up to one to two meters tall and has reddish, balloon-like flowers. It is found throughout India.

If we follow some of the basic Ayurvedic Vajikarana recommendations, we can experience new vitality, vitality, and beauty through healthy sexuality. The Ashwagandha plant also has a long history of use as an aphrodisiac in Ayurveda and—men, listen up—is even said to increase potency; in women, it can help boost libido. It doesn't hurt to try it out. However, Ashwagandha should not be taken during pregnancy, as there are no studies on its effects.

Surely everyone has heard that stress often leads to obesity. This is primarily due to the fact that our bodies release increased amounts of cortisol when we're stressed. Too much cortisol triggers appetite and food cravings. By reducing stress, we reduce excessive appetite and the food cravings triggered by too much cortisol.

AYURVEDA: Ashwagandha for your bioenergy balance

Ashwagandha calms the doshas Vata and Kapha.

Pure ashwagandha or products made from it, such as avaleham, a type of puree, are primarily used for Vata problems of the nervous system, digestive tract, and reproductive tissue. Ashwagandha is used in Ayurveda for flatulence, nausea, and mild forms of constipation, which are associated with imbalances in Ayurvedic bioenergies.

Recipe

Ashwagandha tea

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp Ashwagandha powder
• hot water
• Cinnamon and/or cardamom
• 1 tsp honey

Boil water with the powder and let it steep for 5 minutes. Since ashwagandha tastes bitter, I always like to add a little cinnamon and honey. Ashwagandha tea has a calming and soporific effect.
