Why Aswagandha?

Do you feel like flopping onto your bed in the middle of the day? Do you move through life unmotivated and fatigued? Frequent hospital visits, recurrent cough & cold, infection and fever, have these become a way of life for you? Wish you could reset your system and start afresh?

Revive and rejuvenate with Aswagandha, the elixir for health and well-being. ?Rasayana Chikitsa? is a branch of medicine unique to the Ayurvedic system of healing. It focuses on protecting the body from the rigors of daily life and softening the impact of aging. Faulty dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, undue stress and strain, all contribute to a sluggish metabolism. This in turn manifests as hormonal malfunction, inflammatory disorders, general fatigue, and poor mental health in the individual.

Several studies bear testimony to the potent antioxidant activity of Aswagnadha in its various forms. It boosts general endurance and immunity, improves metabolism and enhances sexual health and virility.
