It is built around Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) with Safed Musli, Manjishtha, Haritaki, Haridra, Yashtimadhu, Rasna, Vidari, Arjuna, Sariva, Chandana, Vacha and Trikatu. In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha is classed as a Rasayana (rejuvenative), Balya (strength-promoting) and Medhya (supports the mind). The tonic is traditionally used to support resilience to everyday stress, restful sleep and recovery of strength, and to pacify Vata. It contains naturally generated alcohol.

No. It is highly recommended to mix it with an equal amount of lukewarm water and consume it after meals.

What is Ashwagandharista used for?
