Each jar contains whole root Ashwagandha, thoughtfully crafted to accommodate your dietary preferences. It is free from sodium, yeast, gluten, sugar, and artificial colours and flavours, making it a versatile choice for everyone.

Mix 1 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder into warm water, milk, or your favourite smoothie. For best results, take it once or twice daily, ideally in the morning for stress relief or in the evening for sleep support. Always consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or under medical supervision. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Q: Is Ashwagandha safe to take with pharmaceutical medication?
A: Holistic Essentials' Ashwagandha is a whole herb source of nutrients that may have nutritional or physiological effects. Like food, our herbs are generally safe to use with pharmaceutical medication. We recommend consuming herbs as advised and apart from prescribed medication. If you are currently prescribed pharmaceutical drugs for blood-thinning, epilepsy, psychosis, immune suppression (e.g., anti-HIV or post-transplant), or any life-threatening condition, we suggest consulting your healthcare professional or an Ayurvedic Practitioner before taking whole herbs for nutrition.

Q: Is Ashwagandha safe for a child to take?
A: While herbs are natural and generally safe, we recommend that only individuals over the age of 16 take the adult dosage specified on our products unless advised otherwise by a practitioner, or a child's dosage as determined by an Ayurvedic Practitioner.

Q: Does Ashwagandha have any side effects?
A: Our organic Ashwagandha whole herb capsules and powders are rigorously tested, and generally, there are no side effects associated with our food products, capsules, or herbs. However, as with any consumable, reactions and intolerances are always possible. If you experience anything unusual, please contact our Customer Services team, who are always here to help.

Q: Can I take Ashwagandha alongside other holistic treatments, e.g., homeopathic remedies, other herbs, or nutritional supplements?
A: While our food products are natural and safe, it is advisable to seek the advice of an Ayurvedic Practitioner if you are taking other herbs or homeopathic remedies.

Q: Can I consume Ashwagandha if I am on the pill?
A: Yes, there is no known interaction between our food products or herbs and the contraceptive pill. If you have concerns, we recommend discussing them with your healthcare practitioner or Ayurvedic Practitioner.

Q: Is it okay to consume Ashwagandha if I’m about to have surgery?
A: We advise stopping the use of herbs, including Ashwagandha, 7 days before surgery to avoid any complications.

Q: When is the best time to take the herbs, and can they be taken with, before, or after food?
A: The best time to take herbs is 15 minutes before food with warm water. If digestion is weak, take them after food with warm water. If you forget, you can take them at any time.

Q: I have problems swallowing capsules—how can I take the herbs?
A: You can empty the capsules into water or juice and drink.

Q: I have poor digestion—how can I take the herbs so they don't upset my digestion?
A: If digestion is weak, take the capsules after food.

Q: How do I store Holistic Essentials' food products and herbs?
A: Store them away from direct sunlight and below 30°C.

Q: Are your capsules vegan?
A: Yes, the capsules are made from vegetarian cellulose and can be consumed by vegans.

Q: Why is there a silica sachet in my bottle of Ashwagandha?
A: We use silica sachets in some of our capsule products to prevent moisture from compromising the herbs. The silica sachet is completely safe for use in food products and should remain in the jar to prevent moisture. The contents of the sachet should not be consumed and should be disposed of appropriately once the bottle is empty.
