For over 3,000 years, ashwagandha has held a prominent place in Ayurveda and Unani, two of India’s ancient medicinal traditions. This revered herb, with its roots, leaves, and fruits, has been celebrated for its potent medicinal properties and adaptogenic benefits.


This book is a comprehensive exploration of ashwagandha’s remarkable therapeutic potential. Drawing from centuries of traditional use and scientific advancements, it delves into the ethnopharmacology, botanical characteristics, phytochemicals, pharmacological activities, clinical trials, safety, toxicity, and formulations of this powerful herb.


With growing recognition of ashwagandha as a candidate for drug development, this book critically examines its applications across diverse health domains, from neurological and reproductive health to cancer and arthritis management. It identifies research gaps that must be addressed to elevate ashwagandha to a fully commercialized, evidence-based medical intervention.


Ashwagandha: Potential Drug Candidate from Ancient Ayurvedic Remedy provides insights for scientists, healthcare professionals, nutraceutical developers, and regulatory bodies. Whether seeking to develop innovative products, optimize fitness regimens, or craft informed nutritional plans, this book is the ultimate guide to harnessing the full potential of ashwagandha.
