Starwest Botanicals Organic Ashwagandha Root Cut and Sifted, 1 Pound

I was at a local farmers market in town and a lady selling kale chips was chewing on something that seemed like tobacco so I inquired what it was. She said it was Ashwgandha roots cut and sifted. She offered me a taste and she said to hold in in your cheek and keep chewing it unit the herb had been released and then spit out or swallow. When I tried it it tasted kind of strong but I stuck with it and chewed away. After 20 minutes I spit it out and went back to her and asked her what the herb is good for. She said it's very good for Men and gave me a laundry list of why it is so good for you:) Naturally increase free and total testosterone in men2) Reduce anxiety3) Reduce stress levels4) Increase sexual arousal and sexual performance5) Increase physical strength, stamina, and muscle size6) Shorten recovery time after workouts7) Reduce the stress hormone “cortisol”8) Improve cognition and memory9) Improve feelings of happinessI felt great all day and immediately decided to go to Amazon to order this product. I use it regularly as described and it has really increased my energy and endurance. The product from Starwest is of very good quality and the price is very reasonable.

Good quality as always from this brand.

I like the sifted- makes a better tea. Good relax

This herb is a must have in any apothecary

I love this product.. It has great benefits for my body and gives me alot of energy as well.

The taste it not so wonderful but it those what it should do

I wish it was ground up, But I have used it in a couple of ways now, in tea, and coffee I also used in like some would use tobacco, Only time will give me more information

I take this as a balancing herb for my thyroid.It also is great for restoring your immune system after a long illness. A great herb!These are chopped bits of a hard root. I use 2 tablespoons per quart of water. put boiling water over the herb and steep at a very low temp for 10 minutes. Let sit for an hour before drinking.This is called a decoction. Use about 1/4 cup of this tea per day, or more as desired.One of the names for this herb is "smell of a horse" and it does indeed smell strong. At first I had a hard time drinking it, but after a couple of days I got used to it and it no longer bothers me at all.
