FIRE ELEMENT
BLISS QI 火

From the Solanaceae family, Ashwagandha Root is commonly known as “Indian Winter cherry” or “Indian Ginseng”. Used prominently as a herb of Ayurveda (the traditional system of medicine in India), it promotes a youthful state of physical and mental health and expands happiness. The root smells like horse (“ashwa”), that is why it is called Ashwagandha (on consuming it gives the power of a horse).

Ashwagandha Root improves brain and nervous system function and therefore enhances memory and the reproductive system promoting a healthy sexual and reproductive balance. Ashwagandha improves the body's defense against disease by improving the cell-mediated immunity. It also possesses potent antioxidant properties that help protect against cellular damage caused by free radicals.

WELLNESS BENEFITS
