Ashwagandha Concentrate
In Ayurvedic medicine, Ashwagandha is a primary strengthening tonic, used for debility, inflammatory conditions, premature ageing, low libido, impotence and infertility. It may also strengthen the nervous and immune systems. Unlike many other adaptogens and aphrodisiacs, Ashwagandha is not over-stimulating; and may actually promote sound sleep, as well as meditation. It is also used for week knees and back, joint and nerve pain.
Preparation
SUPER CONCENTRATE. Add .5 g, or, 1/8 teaspoon, to a little juice or water, stir and scull down. Can be encapsulated in vegetable gelatine capsules.
