Organic ashwagandha powder
Anti-aging, regenerating, fortifying
Pillar of the Ayurvedic tradition, Ashwagandha powder has been known and used in India for 3,000 years. Ashwagandha powder is rich in antioxidants, giving it anti-aging benefits. Add to this its anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and wound-healing properties, and it's easy to see why Ashwagandha powder is so beneficial to the skin.
For all these reasons, Ashwagandha powder is often used as a mask or poultice for mature, delicate skin.
On the hair or in shampoos, it strengthens and helps dull hair.
A little extra: In Ayurvedic tradition, Ashwagandha powder is a so-called 'adaptogen' plant. This type of plant is said to enhance the body's natural ability to resist stress.
Ashwagandha is recognized for its ability to combat sleep disorders.
The botanical minute
Native to India, Ashwagandha is still widely cultivated. This plant needs an arid climate to thrive, hence its presence in certain areas of India, but also in the wild in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. In Yemen, the leaves of this plant with their small red berries are nicknamed 'healing leaves'.
