Ashwagandha: The Complete Guide to Ayurveda's Favourite Adaptogen

28 April 2026 · 5 min read · By Dr. Anjali Rao, Ayurvedic Consultant

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most extensively studied herbs in Ayurvedic medicine, classified as a 'Rasayana' — a rejuvenating tonic that promotes longevity and vitality.

Modern research has validated much of its traditional use: clinical studies show ashwagandha can lower cortisol levels by up to 30%, making it a powerful tool for managing chronic stress and anxiety.

Beyond stress, ashwagandha is prized for supporting thyroid function, improving sleep quality, boosting muscle strength, and enhancing cognitive performance — particularly memory and reaction time.

At The Regal Roots, we use KSM-66 ashwagandha — a full-spectrum root extract recognized as the most clinically studied ashwagandha extract in the world, with a 5:1 concentration ratio that preserves the herb's natural balance of compounds.

For best results, take 1-2 teaspoons of our Ashwagandha Root Powder daily, ideally mixed into warm milk or water before bed.
