Ashwagandha Root
Known as “Ayurvedic Ginseng,” Ashwagandha
supports stamina, endurance, and energy.
Ashwagandha Root 1:1.5 - 1 fl oz ~ Prod Code: 57008
Who would benefit from this supplement?
•Those suffering from fatigue, stress, immune system prob-
lems, chronic fatigue syndrome, recovery from illness and
auto-immune disorders.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, similar to ginseng, but
it is less heating, “yang” or simulating than Panax ginseng.
Ashwagandha is known as the “Ayurvedic” Ginseng. It is
indicated for the same types of conditions as Ginseng, but
Ashwagandha is not heating, Yang or stimulating like Ginseng
(Panax varieties). It is used preventatively for those who have
difficulty replenishing the energy they expend, and want to
avoid burn out. Burnout from unrelenting stress can take the
form of immune breakdown (colds, flu), headaches, irritable
bowel, blood sugar swings and any other genetic, predisposi-
tional or constitutional weakness. Ashwagandha gives addi-
tional life force or Chi to help adapt to the stresses at hand.
It can also be used as a restorative for those who have
already burned out. Ashwagandha, as part of a rejuvenation
treatment plan is effective in chronic fatigue syndrome,
depression, debility, recovery from wasting diseases,
chemotherapy and helps while one is in emotional recovery
therapy.
Ashwagandha is also indicated specifically in autoimmune
disorders. It helps immunity to self modulate. It also has an
affinity to help chronic neuro-muscular disorders such as
fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Fresh Ashwaganda Root (Withania somnifera), Grain Alcohol,
Deionized Water. It is certified organic.
Dosage:

“You may already be accustomed to taking echinacea at the
first sign of a cold or flu, or when people around you are get-
ting sick. How is astragalus different? Like echinacea,
Astragalus not only helps prevent colds and flu but shortens
the course of a bug once it has set in. Astragalus can also be
used as a long-term preventive and restorative herb, both to
prevent illness and to renew energy and vitality once an
acute illness hs passed. Scientific evidence salso suggests that
astragalus may be one of the most important herbs for
strengthening the immune system against serious diseases,
including cancer.” (McCaleb, Robert, et al,
The Encyclopedia
of Popular Herbs
, The Herb Research Foundation, Prima
Health, 2000)
The indications listed for Astragalus include the following:
colds and flu, chronic respiratory problems such as bronchi-
tis, digestive ailments, susceptibility to infectious disease,
recovery after illness, general weakness and fatigue, cancer.
The active constituents include polysaccharides (glucans),
saponins (astragalosides), flavonoids and phytosterols, all of
which contribute to the positive actions of Astragalus. It
increases the number of stem cells in bone marrow and
lymph tissue and encourages their development into active
immune cells. It appears to help trigger immune cells from a
"resting" state into heightened activity. One study showed
Astragalus root helps promote and maintain respiratory
health. It also enhances the body's production of
immunoglobulin and stimulates macrophages. Astragalus can
help activate T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Astragalus
stimulated NK-cell activity of human peripheral blood lym-
phocytes and restored steroid-inhibited NK-cell activity in
another study.
Traditionally, many herbalists feel Astragalus is best used
when not acute. In other words, use it in between acute
episodes in order to boost immunity and avoid frequent
acute episodes. Astragalus is indicated for those who get sick
frequently, for illnesses that do not resolve in a reasonable
time, for those who get sick time after time. It is also indicat-
