It is dynamic plant that is classified as a rasayana in Ayurvedic medicine, or a rejuvenating tonic. The modern term to describe Ashwagandha would be adaptogen. Ashwagandha has a long and varied history of use. The use of Ashwagandha root has been documented in various traditional Ayurvedic texts, the oldest being the Kasyapa-Samhita from 600 A.D.
