The ancient medicinal system of India aka Ayurveda, is an absolute treasure trove that has inspired, and still inspiring, treatments and cures for eons. One such herb is Ashwagandha (Indian Ginseng), a star ingredient in many Ayurvedic medicines. It's a native herb of India, and although it's no new discovery for Indians, as our mothers and grandmothers have been recommending it for as long as we can remember, it has certainly gained a newfound popularity in the European context.
