Indian Ginseng

Indian Ginseng (Withania Somnifera), commonly known as ashwagandha or winter cherry, is an evergreen shrub of the Solanaceae family that grows in India, the Middle East and parts of Africa. The plant, especially its root powder, has been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine.
In herbal medicine, Indian Ginseng is mainly used to treat nervous disorders associated with stress and to treat erectile dysfunction problems. It is considered to strengthen the resistance and defense of the body, because it contributes to the reduction of symptoms caused by various forms of stress. It generally increases the body's resistance against all external harmful factors and strengthens the immune system. In addition, it calms the nervous system, increases energy and contributes to good health and longevity.
To make a drink, pour 2 teaspoons of roots in 1 liter of boiling water. In the form of a tincture, the recommended dosage is 2-4 ml 3 times a day. Also, the dried root in powder form is taken in an amount of 2g mixed with honey for about 6 weeks.
Indian ginseng should not be taken in larger doses than recommended, because stomach upset, diarrhea, vomiting may occur. It is forbidden to take it in cases of pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Herbs are and should be treated as medicines. We recommend that you always consult your doctor before using them.
