Commentary:
 Ashwagandha is one of the most highly regarded and commonly used  adaptogens in Ayurvedic medicine. Maximizing the body's ability to  resist stress, it enables the body to reserve and sustain vital energy  throughout the day while promoting sound, restful sleep at night. It is  considered one of the best herbs for calming vata and for revitalizing  the male reproductive system. Used by both men and women, it maintains  proper nourishment of the tissues, particularly muscle and bone, while  supporting proper function of the adrenals. This potent herb is used to  promote muscle strength and to support comfortable joint movement.
