ASHWAGANDHA POWDER
Pure ashwagandha root from this past season's harvest. Grown in Oley, Pennsylvania using organic practices in mineral rich soil this plant loves. The roots are then hand processed and sifted to a fine powder just before bottling.
A well known adaptogen, ashwagandha balances energy levels, supports the immune system, and has a direct effect on the endocrine system. We find people feel the effect immediately, and have continued benefits over time.
Ashwagandha powder can be stirred into a beverage, hot or cold, added to a smoothie, extracted in vinegar, or simmered in a broth.
