Ashwagandha has been called the king of Ayurvedic herbs. Ashwagandha is an herb used in Ayurveda, the traditional remedy of India. Its root has a horsey smell (in Sanskrit, ashva means â??horseâ?? and gandha means â??smellâ??) and is said to confer the strength of a horse. Various parts of the plant are used, but the most common in supplements is an extract of its roots. The ashwagandha plant is a small shrub with yellow flowers thatâ??s native to India and North Africa. Extracts or powder from the plantâ??s root or leaves are used to treat a variety of conditions. Ashwagandha is grown in India and is only extracted from the Ashwagandha root, never the leaves. The reason for this is that the root is the primary part of the plant used in Ayurveda. The primary use of the leaves was traditionally for topical treatments on the skin.
