At 1-3 T daily, you need 300-700 grams (454 grams in a pound). The word Ashwagandha translates to 'strength or sweat of a horse'...and you'll know that's true the first time you taste it! (ACK! I mix mine in apple cider, but nothing really helps much). If you're body is needing it, once you've had a dose or two, the taste will not matter a bit...it's worth it a million times over.


Pacific Botanicals grows their own and should be a much higher quality than either Starwest Botanicals or Mountain Rose....BUT ***see edit below - the Ashwagandha from PB is much darker (brown) whereas that from SW or MR is very light cream/fawn in color. I've asked PB about this, and never received much in the way of an answer. SO, I ordered all three to test them 'side by side'...and that from PB was so incredibly strong I almost threw up. I tried it again, same results. It's officially the only thing I've never been able to ingest...and most on the forum agree. BUT, there are two people on the forum that report that they much prefer it from PB. The difference in all of our taste-buddies is truly amazing. ***Edit 5/9/11 - Willowley has ordered/received C/S Ashwagandha root from PB and says hers is now light fawn/cream in color. I've just ordered 2 pounds of powder and C/S for tincturing, so perhps the 2 batches I got was from totally 'different stock'. I'll post a report on it as soon as I receive it (and try to remember to update this post). Uny

Ashwagandha's benefits are very "dose dependent". Just like we would feel/sense nothing by taking 1/8 of an aspirin (or eating an inch of a carrot), the same goes for Ashwagandha. I've never known anyone to experience any benefits with less than 1T daily. So although you may 'start small' to test for reactions, you're not likely to get much of a benefit until you take at least 1T per day. Or at least, that's what the typical experience has been.

Dosage... Re: Kava tincture question
I *know* that Kava root - got a bag of it here myself but never did try it out :)

Dosage - depending upon how sensitive you are to 'sedative herbs', I'd say start at 2 droppersful. I'm pretty sensitive to 'em myself, but I'd still start at a teaspoon (4 droppersful). It might take 6-8 droppersful (or even more) to really kick-in to where you can actually feel/sense it, but then again...2 droppersful might do the trick for some folks.

Tincture ON!
