🌿 Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera, is an ancient medicinal herb widely used in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine system of India.

Ashwagandha is often referred to as "Indian ginseng" due to its rejuvenating properties, though it is not related to the ginseng family.
