Sperb's Herbs Ep. 8 - Ashwagandha
Manage episode 285078132 series 2877370
Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic Medicine. Sometimes referred to as "Indian ginseng" in the West, it is often referred to as an adaptogen, just like its Asian and American ginseng counterparts. In simple terms, this means it is used as a general tonic and the body "adapts" it to what it needs. While used for many conditions, the science seems a little iffy on its effectiveness. Let's figure out if this is the case, or does there need to be more research or maybe more acceptance of its traditional uses.
