Withania somnifera popularly known as Aswagandha or Indian Ginseng/Poison Gooseberry have thousands years of history of use in Indian traditional medicine. Besides, finding place root of the plant as Indian Ginseng, Ayurveda also uses root of this plant as general health tonic, adaptogenic, nootropic, immunomodulatory etc. 

For the second time in a month I got vertigo trying Ashwagandha. My head was spinning so much I couldn’t walk straight. Had to lie down to sleep it over.

It’s good as a sleeping aid, but for me it’s never again!
