Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha’s (Indian Ginseng, Winter Cherry) use in Ayurvedic medicine reaches to the teachings of Punarvasu Atreya, a personal physician of the King of the Gandhara Kingdom.

A nervine tonic, Ashwagandha is taken regularly to partake in its full benefits. It works to calm unsettled nerves and enhance operation of the body’s nervous system, while also regenerating it. Its adaptogenic qualities help enhance brain function and focus, as well as help combat insomnia, the effects of aging, and chronic stress and fatigue syndrome. It helps improve your memory and relieves the underlying tension in muscles, as well as symptoms of anxiousness.

Ashwagandha works to lower your blood sugar and cholesterol levels, while reducing inflammation in muscles and joints. It can be used as an anthelmintic, meaning it gets rid of parasitic worms and piles. As a thermogenic, it brings a feeling of warmth and flushes the system of sodium and water and improves overall heart and lung function.

This plant embodies the energies of Mars and men; improving drive and focus toward specific goals and the endurance to reach them. It can be used in spell work via jars, a dressed candle, as an offering, or in a small velvet bag. Sprinkle some of the root’s powder in a bath to absorb nutrients through the skin. Drink it to align your Chakra energy and enhance your energies. Smolder or drink as an aphrodisiac in love or commitment spells and rituals.

Do not take Ashwagandha if you are on any form of blood sugar or cholesterol medication.
