Churnam
Ashwagandha Powder
Ashwagandha Churnam (Withania somnifera) is one of the most revered herbs in classical Ayurveda, celebrated as a premier Rasayana and Balya formulation. The Charaka Samhita classifies it as a Medhya Rasayana, and the name literally means "the smell of a horse," referring to the vitality and stamina it traditionally imparts.
How to use
Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) mixed with warm water, preferably in the evening or before bed.
Ashwagandha Powder
With a warming Virya and sweet post-digestive effect, Ashwagandha is especially suited for Vata and Kapha imbalances. It is traditionally valued for its grounding, nourishing qualities and is one of the finest adaptogenic herbs in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. Ideal for autumn and winter routines when the body seeks deeper nourishment.
Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) mixed with warm water, preferably in the evening or before bed. May also be taken with ghee and honey (in unequal proportions) for enhanced absorption.
