Ayurveda, the ‘science of wellbeing’ that developed in India over 5000 years ago, has a long history of using ashwagandha’s roots to nourish the mind and enhance energy, making them perfect for when we are feeling weak and exhausted. This comes as no surprise to our herbal experts, such as our Head of Herbal Education, Jo Webber, who says: “ashwagandha has a long history of traditional use for helping us to cope with everyday stress and relax without feeling exhausted which could explain why it helps women achieve an orgasm/ or support women’s libido.
