The herb is said to give strength and vitality like a horse
Ashwgandha is an adaptogenic herb, which means that it can both stimulate and inhibit the same functions in the body, all depending on the need. It has a normalizing or balancing effect, and is known to have a calming and strengthening/vitalizing effect. Literally (Sanskrit), Ashwagandha means "smell of a horse" because fresh herbs smell like a horse, and because the herb is said to give strength and vitality like a horse. In Latin, on the other hand, the species' name (Somnifera) can be translated as sleep-inducing.
Ashwagandha is used in capsules or as a tea to give strength, balance and harmony. New studies show that Ashwagandha contributes to increased tolerance for stress, and it helps to maintain physical and mental capacity, as well as emotional balance and easier falling asleep.
The Ashwagandha oil we use in 11.11 Vitality is made in an authentic Ayurvedic way from Ashwagandha roots in a base of organic sesame seed oil (Sesamum indicum). The oil is specifically made for use in skin care. It contains only pure and organic herbs that are ethically harvested and of high quality.
