Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also known as Indian Ginseng or Winter Cherry, is one of the most revered herbs in Ayurveda, valued for its rejuvenating and adaptogenic properties. The name Ashwagandha is derived from two Sanskrit words—ashwa meaning horse and gandha meaning smell—signifying that the herb imparts the strength and vitality of a horse. As per Ayurveda, Ashwagandha is a powerful Rasayana or Rejuvenator and help to promote longevity, vitality, and immunity against a disease.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), is widely used in lymphoma patients for enhancing the physical strength, boosting immunity, and supporting overall well-being of patients. It also improves sleep, memory, and concentration, while also reducing anxiety and mental fatigue in lymphoma patients.
