What is Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a small shrub whose root has been used in Ayurvedic traditional medicine in India for thousands of years, often described as a "rasayana," or rejuvenating tonic.
What does the research say?
Ashwagandha is among the more extensively studied adaptogens, with a number of clinical trials examining its association with stress and cortisol levels, sleep quality, and general wellbeing. You can browse peer-reviewed literature via PubMed's Withania somnifera listings and general fact sheets via the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
