Legend has it that famed Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León set sail not just to survey the New World, but to seek out the fabled “Fountain of Youth.” This was a mystical water source that primordial folklore promised could cure a man of all his ailments and keep him looking and feeling young forever if he simply sipped a splash of its crystal-clear deluge.
Ponce de León and his crew traveled to what we now know as Florida in search of this panacea. However, he was only to discover (with much disappointment), that this land of palm trees, sunshine, and year-round warmth provided no such elixir from any of its natural springs.
Like any famous tale, there’s probably more myth to the legend of Ponce de León’s excursion than actual fact. But historical records do show that almost all civilizations (both past and present) have revered the idea that somewhere out there is a cure-all for human conditions.
Whether it be miracle waters or some kind of “magic” herb… it is just waiting to be discovered by a brave and adventurous soul seeking it out for the benefit of humanity.
It’s a hopeful thought that, again, seems to be more the subject matter of an imaginative fantasy novel than the real world in which you and I live.
But what if I told you that a “Fountain of Youth”-type elixir does, in fact, exist?
Long prized as a life-extending “miracle” herb in Ayurvedic medicine, the plant I’m about to cover is arguably one of the most comprehensive healing substances known to man. And, I’m excited to share with you its many scientifically-proven health benefits.
Withania somnifera: An Adaptogenic, Rejuvenating Herb of the Highest Order
Known more commonly as ashwagandha or Indian ginseng, withania somnifera has long held a prominent place in Ayurvedic medicine. Its use dates at least as far back as 4,000 B.C.
The traditional Indian approach to healing involved using ashwagandha as a “Rasayana.” In Sanskrit this literally means “that which negates old age and disease.” The life essence, so to speak, of Ayurveda, and one of functional medicine’s most precious herbs.
The prefix “ashwa” translates as “horse,” the implication being that consuming this herb gives one the power of a horse. Ashwagandha’s many benefits include its narcotic, diuretic, aphrodisiac, anthelmintic, astringent, stimulant, thermogenic, and tonic properties. It also has benefits of adaptogenic nature. Adaptogens, in case you weren’t aware, are herbs that modulate the body’s stress response, adjusting hormones and other substances either up or down depending on what the body needs.
The stress hormone cortisol, for instance, can cause all sorts of health problems when left unchecked. Think irritability, weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease. The ashwagandha plant has the ability to normalize cortisol levels and protect the body from harm.
Ashwagandha is also powerfully rejuvenating, helping to energize the body, strengthen immunity, and balance hormone levels. All of these have the effect of making a person look and feel younger.
The Amazing Health Benefits of Ashwagandha
More than 200 studies reinforce the many known health benefits of ashwagandha. These include:
- Increased stamina and endurance
- Improved thyroid and adrenal gland function
- Reduced stress and fatigue
- Protection against gastric ulcers
- Enhanced memory and cognition
- Protection against neurological disease and neurodegeneration
- Increased mitochondrial function and energy levels
- Anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects
- Anti-tumor and anti-cancer effects
- Improved immunity
- Boosted athletic performance
- Better sleep and decreased anxiety
- Central nervous system support
As you can see, the uniquely adaptogenic nature of ashwagandha makes it a potent remedy for nearly every facet of health that needs correcting or balancing.
Unlike pharmaceutical drugs and other therapeutic substances that directly alter a specific cellular function or gene expression in order to address a particular set of symptoms, ashwagandha helps the body to self-adapt. It does this in order to facilitate proper rest, energy production, metabolic function, hormone modulation and various other functions.
Ashwagandha is Among the Most Revered Ayurvedic Herbs
“Rasayana is described as an herbal or metallic preparation that promotes a youthful state of physical and mental health and expands happiness,” explains a study out of India looking at the historical prominence of ashwagandha in traditional medicine. “These types of remedies are given to small children as tonics, and are also taken by the middle-aged and elderly to increase longevity.”
As for ashwagandha’s relevance in the medicinal hierarchy, this same study declares that among the Ayurvedic Rasayana herbs, ashwagandha “holds the most prominent place.”
When it comes to cancer, ashwagandha has demonstrated powerful benefits in the treatment of cancer − including that of the lung and prostate.
Best Forms of Ashwagandha and How to Take it
The most biologically active form of ashwagandha is said to be Nagori ashwagandha, though wildcrafted varieties have a similar composition. It is complete with all the alkaloids, withanolides (steroidal lactones), saponins, fatty acids, amino acids, choline, and the various other anti-stress and immunomodulatory agents that make it such a powerful medicine.
Ayurvedic health experts recommend consuming this variety as a fresh powder made from the roots of the plant. However, the leaves, flowers, and seeds can also be beneficial when prepared for other purposes.
Since ashwagandha is an herb, and a relatively mild one at that, it can be taken regularly as part of a healthy diet. This is because it’s basically just a food.
And when I say mild, I mean that it provides gentle benefits in harmonious synergy with your body’s own biological processes, exhibiting minimal (if any), negative side effects. However, if you’re pregnant, it’s recommended that you take ashwagandha under the supervision of a qualified health practitioner, preferably someone well-versed in Ayurvedic medicine.
Traditionally, 5-10 grams of high-quality, organically-grown Withania somnifera root powder is mixed into a glass of warm cow’s milk. This is consumed once or twice daily for optimal benefits. If you consume cow’s milk, I would recommend an organic, grass-fed, raw variety gently warmed rather than cooked at high heat, as high heat will essentially pasteurize the milk and destroy its vital enzymes.
Alternatively, you can mix the powder into a warmed milk alternative (i.e. nut milk), blend it into a smoothie, or combine it with raw honey to form ashwagandha superfood “balls.”
Whatever method you can tolerate is adequate. Ashwagandha supplements made from pure root powder with no fillers are another great option.
The Chopra Center recommends taking ashwagandha at a dosage of 600 to 1,000 milligrams twice daily. Individuals who suffer from insomnia and/or anxiety can, again, combine the powder with a warm beverage. This can be milk, a milk substitute, or even water. Consume before bed for optimal results.
If you’re really serious about aging with grace, balancing your hormones, minimizing stress, boosting your energy levels, and improving your neurological health with ashwagandha, it’s important not to forget about your diet. The fewer cheap carbohydrates, processed grains, and refined sugars you eat, the better. And remember… plenty of healthy fats, nutrient-dense proteins, and fiber-rich foods are a must.
Sharon says
IMPORTANT: People sensitive to nightshades may be sensitive to ashwaganda. Also people with colitis may have difficulty with ashwaganda. I fall into both categories and ashwaganda as well as botswellia had very negative effects for me
Noelle Decambra says
Thank you so much for sharing that comment Sharon. I suffer from terrible colitis and was on my way to ordering this stuff…..I’m bummed it has negative effects on the colon….I could sure use a miracle drug. God Bess
stephanie says
Yes, thank you, Sharon. Like Noelle, I suffer (understatement) from microscopic colitis and arthritis. I cannot take ashwaganda but was told that boswellia would be good. Guess I’ll toss my boswellia. I could use a miracle, as well.
Divya Alter says
Thank you Tom–great article. Ayurveda also describes ashwagandha to have heating metabolic properties. So if a person is overheated (liver or blood, for example), then one has to be careful. It is best to first consult with an Ayurvedic or Chinese medicine practitioner. Potent, pure ashwagandha is also available at chandika.com.

Avena Botanicals located in Rockport (Ithink) Maine has high quality organic biodynamically raised products of the purest highest quality.
I use their Ashwagandha powder – you can find them on the internet or probably Facebook as well.
Silvia says
Hello, you can buy Ashwagandha powder or tincture of a high quality and reasonable price at “Iherb.com”. If you want a further discount go to iherb.com/?rcode=TOF014 and order the product. I use tincture which is easy to take and is more concentrated than the powder. Let me know if you have questions.

Shanna Petr says
I have been studying the diet recommended for prostate cancer. Have you seen the study put out by Harvard and Dean Ornish about choline and prostate cancer? Here is a link: nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-choline-and-cancer/
So isn’t choline in this herb? Also, prostate cancer thrives on testosterone, and patients are out on hormone therapy to lower their testosterone, could this possibly increase their testosterone? The herb sounds wonderful, but I think those two questions must be clarified before recommending prostate cancer patients take it.
Roger says
Could this be added to bone broth and if so would it be better to do so while it’s simmering or just add it as you use it?
Gatira says
Why is it so expensive all of this products like the test for breast mammography I can’t afford it.
Dave Parker says
In this article you promote three cancer causing nutrients. Dr. Garth Davis, Dr. Joseph Campbell, Dr. John Mcdougall, and many more who have given us multiple studies talk about the detriment of consuming dairy, high consumption of protien and oil as being majar cancer enhancing nutrients. Sometimes the information you offer counters the scientific evidence that prevails in the literature. Cancer is a metabolic disease. Change your metabolism and you create a non hospitable environment for cancer, WFPBD!
Ronen says
Hello. Could you elaborate please?
If you have any links that’d be great.
What is your background if you don’t
Mind me
Asking?
There’s so much misleading information out there… Thanks!
Colin says
I’ve just found Dr. Thomas Seyfried, PhD. He is advocating that cancer is a metabolic disease, NOT a genetic disease.
Here’s one link as an introduction:
Dr. Thomas Seyfried: Cancer as a Mitochondrial Metabolic Disease
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KusaU2taxow
In summary; he is treating cancer (all types) by restricting the two fuels that all cancer cells rely upon. They are glucose, and glutamine. Glucose is heavily restricted by using a Keto style diet (which has many other general health benefits). Glutimine is then restricted in pulse fashion using drugs such as D.O.N. It’s difficult to obtain and complicated to home use, however there are some natural herbs that are said to also restrict or reduce glutimine in the body.. they are Ashwagandha, and green tea. That’s why I’m here :). I have some, but have not researched it in detail. I’m already taking both – in moderation – the idea is cancer prevention and improved health in general.
Yes I’m one year in on a Keto diet, and will never go back to unhealthy eating. I lost 15kg in the first 6mths, and have been stable on target body weight since then, eating as much fat and meat as I can together with plenty of leafy greens. No sugar, very little carbs, no bad fats (factory made nut oils – they call them vegetable oils!?). Using coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, ghee and butter. Eating as much as I want, NO deprivation or calorie counting. It’s all so yummy!.
Hope this helps.
Matthew Hewes says
Please could you recommend a clean supplier that I can use in the UK?
Jeanne Felfe says
Confused on the amount. In one place you say 5-10 grams, then you say “The Chopra Center recommends taking ashwagandha at a dosage of 600 to 1,000 milligrams twice daily.” The Chopra recommendation is no where near the 5-10 grams you mention. Which is it?
Monte Meadows says
Jeanne Felfe….5-10 grams is 500-1000 milligrams….same thing, just in different measurements grams vs milligrams. Hope that helps
Leigh EVERETT says
No it is not. 10 grams is 10000 milligrams not 1000. Therefore 10 times the amount, so which is it ?
José says
Milli -thousand therefore 10 grams equals 1000 milligrams.
Abby says
500-1000 milligrams is a half gram to a gram. 5-10 grams is 5,000 to 10,000 milligrams
Tamra says
Leigh is correct. 1 gram equals 1,000 milligrams. 10 grams =10,000.
Lori says
Just Google it. 10 grams = 10,000 milligrams.

I found good organic ashwaghanda powder online at Amazon through Vedic Organica ( I think). They also have lots of great Ayurvedic herbs like Brahmi, Moringa, etc. I’m currently battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, completely holistically and It’s working out quite well according to my most recent pet scan!! I’ve also started an international support group on Facebook for anyone healing holistically from cancer or other ailments. Or for anyone who has loved ones dealing with this. It’s called Holistic Cancer Warriors. Please feel free to join our sacred and safe space where you will find love, light, wisdom, information and tons of support. Blessings to all.

gabrielleanimal says
I read it twice and can’t see the price? And it doesn’t seem to be the herb in the artilce but rather a cleanse. Help !!!
Cheraud says
gabrielleanimal: That is what I thought too. He must have given us the wrong link. I am taking ashwaganda, but would like a better quality.
Carmen & Jim Strating says
Me too, I did not get that article. It first talk about Ashwaganda and then towards the end it’s all about cleanse and selling bottles of cleanse stuff and did not see anything about where to buy the powder or even selling the powder themselves. I’m wondering if they mixed up the article with a cleanse article instead. Weird, I thought.
tlogan says
Perhaps you should read it again. The whole article was about ashwaganda, including which forms are optimal for health. At the end, he mentions that there is a form that he takes as part of a cleanse program. As far as finding it, Youngevity has a vitamin powder that includes ashwaganda, and their products are trustworthy, but I can’t remember how much.
M says
You can get Ashwagandha powder on swason vitamins or amazon.
Coco says
I buy it on EBay or Amazon!
Rosalind Reynolds says

Find an herbal store and buy it there. Get your own veggie capsules and make up your own with the powder. Much cheaper and no fillers or added garbage.
Silvia Logan says
Which stores in Canada have Ashwagandha products available? Does Whole Foods have it? Does taking Ashwagandha make a person look much much younger than their age like 20 years younger? Does it get rid of grey hair, wrinkles, stains, age spots, and lines in your skin? What products can people use to look 20 years younger than their age and where can one buy them?
tlogan says
I’m sorry, but your comment made me laugh. I’m 60 and would love to look 20 years younger also, but there is no 1 product that can do all the things you’re listing! I dye my hair and have for years, tho recently I’ve been looking into some natural dyes that I haven’t experimented with yet. I use natural oils on my face that seem to be fading some age spots & softening some wrinkles (by Annmarie-she has a website). I also exercise, try to eat healthy, & take supplements. These all help, but aging is part of life & the only way to totally stop it is to cease to live! I am just thankful that my body doesn’t hurt & I have the energy to teach fulltime AND garden AND play with my grandkids AND volunteer with CASA. Life can still be great even when you look older!!
Muttfoster says
tlogan – I agree. I’m 81, working full time, take care of my house and do dog rescue on the side. I stay busy, try to eat healthy, get exercise and take supplements. Life is very good. Working keeps my mind active and sharp because I have to learn new software programs on a regular basis. My grandkids are grown. I can’t wait for Great grandkids. People I meet say I look like I’m about 65 – that’s young enough for me. I’m am blessed.
Joyce says
I agree

Carmen & Jim Strating says
I would think that raw milk would be ok, right?
SUSAN BASKETT says
Never drink raw cow milk unless you produce it yourself from 100% HEALTHY cattle with stringent hygeine in the milking equipment, my grandmother had to have dead tissue removed from her breast because the farmer next door who she trusted as a friend, was selling her milk from a cow that had mastitus, I was extremely ill also and only had a sip of it . I am vegan now and drink coconut milk, coconut has many health benefits , where as cows milk not as healthy as we have all been led to think, farm animals are stuffed full of antibiotics as a prevention rather than a cure, no wonder we are becomingimune to them,, MRSA for instaance.

Judith Muzones says
I know of a product that contains Ashwaganda Root and Leaf. Ashwaganda also supports healthy blood sugar levels while decreasing sugar cravings, reduces stress , relaxes the body and promotes healthy metabolic function. This product that contains Ashwaganda is for evening weight management and keeps your body in balance and energy that’s why it makes you look and feel younger and have more energy to do your activities for the day.
Ron Ale says
It is all narrow down to Cellular GSH.
When we increase the cellular Glutathione (different than just glutathione) cellular inflammation will decrease dramatically. More than with any specific diet, product or drug.
Many good things in nature but if you follow the biochemical trail you will end up (when you do the research to completion) in the Mitochondrial GSH/Glutathione levels. The fountain of youth is to keep Cellular GSH production at Maximum from birth. Not an easy task in today’s environment. Best way is use RibCys

Btw, those asking where to buy, I personally get all of my dried herbs/powders from iherb.com.
Lori says
I am interested in the cleanse but the info. available does not give me enough detail to make the decision to buy it. In a follow- up video, the Dr. states that there are 3 ways to use these products- including as a cleanse but there’s no information about the additional ways to use the products. Please provide a website or link for more info. Of course, I love the idea that in 30 days your cleansed but the email implied that this was a product that could be taken as a supplement.
Ann Johnson says
I thought this was a nightshade plant and they are bad for arthiritis.
Sharon says
I had a terrible reaction to ashwaganda and always make sure it’s not in any supplements I take. Some people are sensitive to it and it definitely is s nightshade. You can find this by looking on web too.
TESSIE G. CARIÑO says
i need this for my arthritis please give me more info
Monte Meadows says
Many people posting on here are looking where to buy it….. Buying it otc(over the counter) at GNC, Walgreens, or many “vitamin” stores have been shown to have a lot of extras in it….. Many fillers and such; many times that is what people may become intolerant on and not actually the ashwaganda ….You have to be extremely careful buying a bunch of vitamin supplements and choking down tons of that those things…..much of it is junk and is wasted and not used by the body. Also, taking vitamins for different ailments don’t have the effect that many people believe they do. There are books out there explaining that your vitamin supplements may be killing you……high dosages of certain vitamins can be toxic to your body and build up unwanted problems. Be very educated on the products and research things to find out if there are worth all the money to take. Having your body MAKE antioxidants and such is always better than Taking them to help in your bodies defense to oxidative stress, inflammation and mitochondrial failure to name a few.
Debra E. Milligan says

Debra, we simply use Phototherapy Non Transdermal Glutathione patches. The patches boost the immune system and detox harmful heavy metals and toxins from Every cell in the body and extensive clinical studies are showing this as far better than any other product known today. No drugs, no chemicals, nothing ingested or induced into the body and NO harmful side effects – ever. The patches work on light communication and communicate with the body’s energy system for a powerful near immediate positive effect. The best example of the body actually healing the body that we know of. The patches are simple and easy to apply to skin or clothing, low in cost and you may only need one or two each week – and not every week. Rob wellnessplus@adam.com.au

Be careful – as previously stated by someone else Ashwagandha is certainly part of the nightshade family and therefore is a no no for those sensitive to this group. This should have been stated in the article.

I am still waiting to hear back from you concerning my statements about 5 months ago regarding your saying we could receive something for free just by clicking onto something. Then when I clicked on I found it was not free at all which we really disappointed me immensely because I thought you and your organization were different and didn’t revert to tactics like that. Unfortunately I found out otherwise.The fact that you haven’t replied to my concern tells me further that you really don’t seem to be different then any other big organization. That is really sad.

A great nutritional product. Ive been taking it in my morning smoothie now for 12 months now and it is a great supplement. I’m a bowel cancer survivor for 17 years now and at 82 years of age have not put a prescribed medication in my boy in all those 17 years. Just good food and supplements..

Robert Harding says
Of all the posts we would consider Ron Ale’s the best thought. Anything that can be safely used and found to advantage is encouraged. My partner and I have been using the principle of raised Glutathione levels to personally assist hundreds of people in many countries with various issues and usually with life changing results.
The method we use is a technology using a small patch attached to the body or clothing that uses light and sound embedded in liquid crystals that work on the bioelectrical properties of the body to communicate with the body to produce a powerful near immediate effect.
This is an approved, clinically trialled technology that is already well proven. The results are based on actual readings of improvement on various body organ functions and are not just theory based as most products are. The patches are also safe for everybody, are low in cost, easy to use and importantly have NO harmful side effects.
Now, the Glutathione level: The patches raise the Glutathione level higher than any other method known today and this is having a profound effect on improving health. For myself, along with eliminating some concerning health issues I have also found the highly raised Glutathione level has had a huge impact on reversing many ageing issues for me:
My age (liver) spots have faded.
Sun damage that was regularly being treated has disappeared with no further treatment.
My varicose veins have near disappeared (many of my family members have had to be treated for their veins over the years).
My periodontal issues have disappeared (All my teeth have locked themselves back onto my gums).
My wrinkles have faded.
My eyesight is improving and would appear back to where I was about 40 years ago.
I have no pain, stress, movement issues and find life much happier and feel better than I have for years.
I do not suffer with flu or others contagious problems and have never had to consider having flu injections.
I am also nearing 74 years of age, do not take medication and find all blood tests either normal or testing as far younger than my actual age.
The above is mainly from the regular use of the Glutathione patches. They are used for all ages toward the boosting of the immune system and detoxing harmful toxins and heavy metals from the body. While not promoted toward halting or reversing ageing the effect I and others have experienced is certainly a bonus. In general I have only used one or two of these patches weekly costing me on average around the price of a cup of coffee each week.
Just by the way: The patches raise the Glutathione level around 15 to 20 times higher than any other method known today and allow the molecules to reach EVERY cell in the body. Considered impossible at first by the labs testing the patches but confirmed with additional testing. The figures are based on long term measurements and NOT just the “Spike” of initially raised level as normally experienced with manufactured induced or ingested products.
If you do nothing else toward improving your health in the new year we would suggest finding out all you can about safely raising your Glutathione levels and the amazing benefits of this molecule. Rob wellnessplus@adam.com.au

I must admit to having some scepticism when I hear about some new concoction that is supposed to have almost magical properties to help us stay or get healthy. There are so many factors out there that can promote cancer and other serious diseases that to think that one product like Ashwaganda is going to work wonders is probably pipe dreaming.
For example, if you live or work in or near a big city and around busy roads, power lines, wireless transmission towers, etc., you are likely bombarded with dozens of carcinogens in the air, on your clothes, on your shoes, in your food, in your water, etc. You would probably get more health benefits from moving to a more environmentally friendly location than trying to find that miracle drug to make everything better.
Ashwaganda may well do you some good but I think we have higher priority items to consider before that product makes our list.

Jake, we agree with your thoughts. A main reason we mention the patches above is the safety issues along with the benefits.
The patches are Non Transdermal; nothing induced or ingested into the body and even with the millions of people using these patches about the world there have never been any harmful side effects.
They can safely be used for people that have allergy to any drugs or other products and because the Glutathione patch in particular “Modulates” the raising of Glutathione it is even proving very safe for people with rare blood disorders. We have people that would die if they tried to raise their Glutathione levels any other way but are raising their level quite safely with the patches.
On the subject of toxins it does not matter where you are in the world we are all being exposed to these harmful substances one way or another. We believe the Glutathione patch is the most effective method for removing toxins and other harmful substances including heavy metals from the body and the results of clinical studies and users of this patch confirm this.
As with any product, we recommend people suffering serious issues confirm with treating medical practitioners about using or combining the patches with current treatments or medication. Thankfully many medical practitioners are now recognising the benefits of patches about the world and are receptive toward using the patches. In clinical studies the raising of Glutathione levels is found to ease the negative symptoms of Chemo and Radiation and even enhance the benefits sought with these treatments.

Where can I get the patches? Cost? How to use them?
Robert Harding says
Antoinette, please email us as below and we can send you details. The patches do far more than simply raise Glutathione levels with patches for pain, inflammation, stress, cell repair, accelerated healing, energy, sleep problems and so many other problems often considered a precursor for cancer and other serious issues. However we do consider the Glutathione patch one of the best considerations for attaining great health and wellbeing through life.
The patches DO NOT involve mixing or chasing up various herbs or ingredients as there is NOTHING ingested or induced into the body, so absolutely NO harmful side effects.
How well do they detox? Just a recent example is we had had a man suffering with incurable bone pain radiating from his bone marrow for many years, apparently the effect of Lyme. One glutathione patch placed two finger widths under his belly button eased this pain to near zero overnight. He now regularly uses the patches and has a whole new life living without this deliberating pain. We are also using the Glutathione patch with people exposed to chemo with wonderful results.
COST: We find the cost overall is only around a few dollars each week and they are NOT always used each week but the results are near immediate and extremely effective. One has to balance the cost of other procedures, travelling for assistance, the cost of all the medication other products one may consider (and the risks) then decide what quality of life you are seeking. We find the patches very LOW in COST compared to other products or treatments.
ONGOING SUPPORT: We do NOT charge for ongoing support to ensure you have the best result possible with the patches. We also have a Facebook page created that is now being accessed worldwide by users and enquirers sharing ideas, experiences and offering support to others using the patches. Anyone is welcome to join this group, please ask? Rob wellnessplus@adam.com.au

Hello, i am using chyavanprash awaleha. In ayurveda very well recommended. Withania Somnifera is the third ingredient. Is there anyone who knows if this is better – more complete than only the Withania, or should you just take Withania=
Thanks for helping me out.

I purchased 2 bottles of the Sprouts brand of pure ashwagandha
Yesterdayand took one capsule before supper.
I began feeling nautious with stomach cramps and ended up vomiting twice before bedtime. It is now the following day at 1:00 and I still feel miserable and I’m afraid to take any more. Any, suggestions?
