Ashwagandha - also referred to as Indian Ginseng or Winter Cherry - is a member of the nightshade family of plants, and has been used for centuries by Ayurvedic practitioners to help support people’s sleep, stress and anxiety cycles. It has become more readily available over the past few years as people have begun to appreciate the myriad of benefits provided by adaptogens more widely.

The short answer is ‘yes’.

Ashwagandha is a member of the species somnifera which, in Latin, means ‘sleep-inducing’.

Ashwagandha can be a very effective treatment for insomnia. This is down to the fact that the leaves of the plant contain something called ‘triethylene glycol’; a compound that is responsible for sending sleep signals from the brain to the body and back again.

Ashwagandha benefits the body’s systems and this sleep supplement helps you to wind down more quickly and easily and stay asleep for longer, all the while experiencing a better quality of sleep.
