100 g: ₹180

Ashwagandhadi Churna is a classical powder from the Yogaratnakara: Ashwagandha root (480 g) with dry ginger, long pepper and black pepper, eighteen aromatic and digestive herbs — cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaf, Nagkeshar, clove, Bharangi, Talispatra, zedoary, Kalonji, curry leaf, Jatamansi, cubeb, Nagarmotha, Rasna, Kutki, Jivanti and Kooth — and sugar.

Ayurveda gives it for weakness and fatigue with poor digestion, abdominal colic and dizziness.

Used for

  • Weakness & fatigue (Daurbalya)
  • Indigestion & colic (Ajirna)
  • Low stamina (Balya)
  • Dizziness from weakness

Why weakness and poor digestion go together

When digestion is weak, even a good diet isn't fully absorbed; energy dips, muscles weaken and fatigue sets in — and a tired, stressed body digests less well.

Ayurveda sees this as Ajirna (indigestion) with Dhatu-kshaya. Ashwagandhadi pairs the great Balya herb Ashwagandha with Trikatu and aromatics so the nourishment is actually digested and absorbed.

Ashwagandhadi works in 3 ways

  • Adaptogen & Strength (Balya) — Ashwagandha improved strength and lowered stress and cortisol in meta-analyses of randomised trials.
  • Digestive (Deepana-Pachana) — Dry ginger speeds gastric emptying, and piperine from long and black pepper stimulates digestive enzymes in experimental studies.
  • Calming Aromatics — Jatamansi is calming in animal studies, and cardamom, cinnamon and clove ease wind and colic.

Key ingredients

  • Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera, root) — 480 g. Ayurveda's best-known Balya-Rasayana. In randomised trials ashwagandha root extract lowered perceived stress and cortisol and improved sleep and muscle strength; its withanolides are the main active constituents.
  • Sonth (Dry ginger) (Zingiber officinale, rhizome) — 240 g. Ayurveda's 'universal medicine' (Vishwabheshaja) for weak digestion. Its gingerols and shogaols speed gastric emptying and calm nausea; a systematic review of clinical trials found about 1.5 g a day in divided doses relieves nausea.
  • Pippali (Long pepper) (Piper longum, fruit) — 120 g. A classical Rasayana for the respiratory tract and digestion. Like black pepper it carries piperine, plus piperlongumine; it is anti-inflammatory, bronchoprotective and bioavailability-enhancing in experimental studies.
  • Kali mirch (Black pepper) (Piper nigrum, fruit) — 60 g. Its alkaloid piperine stimulates pancreatic digestive enzymes and shortens food transit time in experimental studies, and famously raises the absorption of other compounds by slowing their breakdown in the gut wall and liver.
  • Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi, rhizome) — 12 g. A Himalayan rhizome Ayurveda uses for anxiety, insomnia and headache. Its sesquiterpenes (jatamansone) are sedative, anxiolytic and antioxidant in animal studies.
  • Dalchini (Cinnamon) (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, bark) — 12 g. Warm, sweet bark for indigestion and cold. Its cinnamaldehyde is carminative, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant in experimental studies, and cinnamon modestly improves glucose handling in some trials.
  • Elaichi (Cardamom) (Elettaria cardamomum, fruit) — 12 g. An aromatic for nausea, indigestion and bad breath. Cardamom's 1,8-cineole and α-terpinyl acetate are carminative, antispasmodic and antimicrobial in experimental studies.
  • Kutki (Katuki) (Picrorhiza kurroa, rhizome) — 12 g. A Himalayan bitter for the liver and Kamala (jaundice). Its iridoid glycosides (picroside I and II, kutkoside) are hepatoprotective, choleretic and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies.
