A Comprehensive Review Of Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) In Ancient Ayurvedic Texts

Author(s) Jyoti Sahebrao Sose
Country India
Abstract Aim: To systematically review Ayurvedic texts to delineate the documented historical use, pharmacological properties, and divisions of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) in clinical applications. Source of data: Primary data comes from the Briahtrayi (Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Astangahridaya) and several Nighantus. Secondary data consists of contemporary Ayurvedic texts and modern scientific literature. Review methods: This literature review exhaustively analyzed historical Ayurvedic texts and modern scientific research. Texts are critically examined to extract Ashwagandha's properties, indications, and formulations. Modern scientific studies were reviewed for pharmacological actions and clinical efficacy. Conclusions: Ashwagandha, the iconic drug of Ayurveda with a long-standing historical legacy, finds synergistic use in a long range of therapeutic applications. Its rejuvenating, aphrodisiac, and anti-inflammatory properties, as enunciated by traditional Ayurvedic texts, were corroborated by modern studies identifying constituents like withanolides associated with its pharmacological effects. Ashwagandha's scope in stress management, anxiety, insomnia, and inflammatory conditions is promising. More scientific explorational studies should be taken for the possibility of opening it toward therapeutic avenues while establishing dosing and formulation particulars.
