Some say that roots, just because they're roots, have the power to ground and stabilise you.

Ashwagandha is often called 'Indian ginseng' even though it belongs to a completely different plant family. It is, in fact, a member of the nightshade family and bears tiny, round, red fruits enclosed in a leafy husk, similar to physalises. In Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, the root is said to promote good health, healing and sleep.

What are the benefits of ashwagandha root powder?

• Adaptogenic
• Encourages resilience
• Aids relaxation

Ashwagandha root is known for its supposed adaptogenic action. Adaptogens are plants believed to help the body better cope with external and internal stress. Rather than treating a single issue, adaptogens act holistically on the body, helping maintain good health through life's ups and downs. Its stress-busting action is also thought to help encourage good sleep. 

These properties usually occur when the plants are ingested, but some believe they may also be beneficial when applied topically, helping the skin become more resilient with a tonic effect that revitalises and invigorates. In powder form, it can even be added to our naked, packaging-free products.
