  2. hi, ashwagandha is having rasayana property. it is helpful to increase fertility and also body mass. But it is ashwagandhadi churna what we have introduced here which contain other ingredients also which acts on tridoshas. So before anything it is better to consult your nearest Ayurvedic doctor and take suggestion.

  3. In some youtube videos they say that Ashwagadha powder increase height if it is mixed with milk, they say it has a direct effect on the pituitary gland to secrete the growth hormone, is it true ??

  4. Would this product be useful if taken for muscle-building/recovery while following a weight training program. Also if all 3 dosha are already balanced, should we consume this with ghee & honey both?
