Product Description

Ashwagandha Root -Time-honored Ayurvedic regimen for support
of the immune system and general health Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has a
long history of use in enhancing innate resistance to disease and environmental
contaminants. It is one of the most important herbs in traditional Ayurvedic
medicine because it helps individuals adapt to stressful conditions, both
mental and physical, and aids in maintaining a calm, positive mental attitude.
Ashwagandha is an all-purpose immunomodulator that also promotes healthy
function of vital organs and helped improve joint function in one human trial,
presumably due to its influence on prostanoids and acute phase reactants. It
may be particularly helpful for supporting long-term health by maintaining the
bodys innate balance. Ashwagandha has been used for thousands of years to
promote physical and mental health, and to enhance innate resistance to disease
(American Herbal Pharmacopoeia & Therapeutic Compendium, April 2000).
Ashwagandha helps support normal joint function (J Ethnopharmacol
1991;33:91-95). Ashwagandha helps support inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenase
(COX) enzyme activity as well as suppressing the formation of several acute
phase reactants (Indian J Exp Biol 1988;26:877-82). Ashwagandha beneficially
modulates immune function (J Ethnopharmacol 1999;67:27-35). Ashwagandha helps
the body adapt healthfully to the effects of environmental toxins (Pharmacol
Res 2000;41:663-6).
