Ashwagandha is a top-selling, stress-reducing herbal remedy from Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine. In Ayurveda, it’s been considered a “rejuvenator” for millennia. “Ashwa” in Sanskrit means “horse,” and “gandha” means “smell,” and it’s believed to impart the power of a horse to those who use it.
Consumer demand for ashwagandha increased by 1,100 percent from 2018 to 2021, making it one of the most popular supplements in the United States.
