Welcome! You will receive a sealed bag of natural Ashwagandha Root (Withania somnifera). No pesticides or other chemicals are used!

The ashwagandha herb is a tiny plant in the same plant family as the ordinary garden tomato. When completely developed, this plant is a sturdy shrub that may reach a height of approximately five feet-170 cm.

The ashwagandha is similar to the tomato in that it has yellow flowers and red fruit; however, the fruit is berrylike in size and form, and the likeness to the tomato berry is not easily recognized. This herb is endemic to South Asia, and it grows abundantly in the wild in countries such as India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, all of which are in South Asia and have similar climates.
