ASHWAGANDHA HIM.

Himalaya Ashvagandha — pure ashwagandha root extract pressed into a daily tablet. Ashwagandha is one of the oldest Ayurvedic herbs, known as an adaptogen — a plant that gently helps the body cope with day-to-day stress. Each Himalaya tablet contains 250 mg of standardised root extract.

• Eases everyday stress and tension
• Supports calm sleep and morning energy
• Helps with feeling run-down or mentally tired
• Backs general stamina during long or busy days

Adaptogens like ashwagandha appear to soften the body's stress response by helping balance cortisol — the hormone that spikes when life gets hectic. Smaller cortisol swings often mean better sleep, steadier mood, and less of that 'wired-but-tired' feeling.

Himalaya's label suggests one tablet twice daily, or as directed by your doctor or Ayurvedic practitioner. Best taken with water after meals. Give it a few weeks — adaptogens build gradually.

• Mild stomach upset or loose stools when starting
• Occasional drowsiness or sedation
• Rare: nausea or headache
• Reports of liver injury exist but are rare, mostly in people with pre-existing liver issues

Do not take if you are pregnant or breastfeeding — ashwagandha has historically been avoided in pregnancy. Avoid if you have a hormone-sensitive condition, thyroid disorder, or liver disease without your doctor's go-ahead. May interact with sedatives, thyroid medication, and immunosuppressants — mention it to your pharmacist if you take other medicines. Long-term use beyond three months should be reviewed with a practitioner.

Store below 25°C in a dry place, away from sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
