Ashwagandha - the sleeping berry

Ashwagandha is one of the most important medicinal plants in Ayurveda. Ashwagandha, a symbol of fertility and vitality, has had a firm place in physical medicine for centuries, particularly in Ayurvedic folk medicine, which has its origins in India. This plant belongs to the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and is a shrub with small orange-coloured berries. A striking feature is its odour, which is not exactly pleasant and resembles that of a horse. In fact, the name of the plant is derived from this odour: "ashwagandha" is a combination of the Sanskrit words "ashva" (horse) and "gandha" (smell). In Arabic it is called "waraq a-chifaa", which means "leaf of healing". This name reflects its impressive and versatile effects on the human body.... Read more

A plant of adaptation

Like other ginsengs (Russian ginseng, Siberian ginseng, etc.), the Indian ginseng plant belongs to the so-called "adaptogenic" plants. Adaptogens are characterised by several important properties, including increased resistance to stress, a versatile and non-specific action (targeting all types of stress, whether biological, physical or chemical), as well as the absence of toxicity and influence on the normal functioning of the body.

As a result, Ashwaganda is particularly useful when there are many stressors acting on the nervous system and the necessary calmness is lacking.

Ashwagandha: the ingredients in detail

The composition of ashwaganda is rich in amino acids, withanolides, tannins and much more. Let's take a closer look at what makes ashwagandha so special.

Free amino acids

The amino acids found in ashwagandha are crucial for the proper functioning of our organs. These include:

  • Tyrosine, which stimulates the production of dopamine and helps regulate stress.
  • Glycine, which promotes muscle regeneration.
  • Proline, which is responsible for collagen synthesis.

The plant also contains glutamic acid and alanine.

Withanolides

The leaves of the ashwagandha plant contain withanolides, which are known for their antioxidant properties.

Withaferin A

Withaferin A, a component of ashwagandha roots, has adaptogenic properties.

The berries of the plant, on the other hand, are rich in health-promoting elements such as flavonoids with antioxidant properties and tannins, which are known for their astringent properties.
