Ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera ) is a plant that belongs to the Solanaceae family, like the tomato. Its roots are used for various therapeutic and medicinal purposes. It is considered an adaptogenic plant, meaning it increases the body's ability to adapt and its resistance to extreme conditions, such as cold, stress, and physical or psychological demands. One of its effects is optimizing adrenal gland function, improving our stress response.

It also has the ability to stimulate the immune system, increase energy levels, and simultaneously decrease excess cortisol production. Since excessive cortisol levels are the most common cause of stress-related insomnia, this herb is often used to treat this type of insomnia. In clinical studies, Ashwaghanda demonstrated anxiolytic effects similar to lorazepam (a medication used to treat anxiety), and also demonstrated antidepressant effects.

It has also been considered a plant capable of increasing memory capacity and cognitive ability, due to its antioxidant activity and its ability to increase the activity of the acetylcholine receptor (a neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning). It has also shown very interesting results in Alzheimer's disease.

Some studies have also reported that Ashwagandha inhibits the growth of cancer cells in animals, but more research is needed to confirm whether these effects apply to humans.
