The high stress levels of our society have a profound impact on well-being, impacting our bodies and health in ways that are continually being revealed by new research. Planetary Herbals can help you address this modern problem with one of the most highly respected botanicals in the 5,000- year-old Ayurvedic herbal tradition. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is often compared to Asian ginseng. It is widely used in modern Western herbalism as an adaptogen - a substance that can help our bodies healthfully adapt to physiological and psychological stress, thus increasing resistance to stressors.

Planetary Herbals offers you ashwagandha in a Full Spectrum tablet, formulated to capture all the plant's most valuable compounds, and a liquid extract. Both were selected by licensed acupuncturist and clinical herbalist Michael Tierra, L.Ac., O.M.D., an internationally recognized authority on the world's herbal traditions. Michael was the first to introduce Ayurvedic products to the American health food industry in the early 1970's.

A History of Traditional Use
Ashwagandha has been used throughout India for thousands of years as a rejuvenating tonifier ("rasayana" in Ayurvedic herbalism), and has been included in the writings of many scholars. It was widely used to support vitality in people of all ages, including children, and to enhance reproductive function in both men and women.
