Ashwagandha can be found on store shelves as a single ingredient where extracts from the plant and the plant’s roots are most commonly available in a fine powdered form. The powder can be consumed with a liquid such as milk (animal or plant-based) or found in capsules, teas, oils and tonics.

Harvested Ashwagandha roots are cut into small, uniform pieces that are washed, air-dried for several days, ground and then sieved. The fine ground powder is then packaged or added to other products such as teas and tonics.

Ashwagandha is a revered Ayurvedic herb that has been used as a Rasāyana (invigorating tonic) due to its ability to combat and reduce stress and improve overall well being.
