Folklore of Ashwagandha: With a use history that dates back over 6,000 years, ashwagandha is one of the most highly valued and traditionally used herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. In its earliest ancient text appearances, the plant is noted for its benefit in emaciation for people of all ages (including babies), its power to enhance the reproductive system, and its benefit for arthritic and rheumatic inflammation.
For maximum effect, steep 1 teaspoon of the tea for 10-15 minutes in a mug of hot water or better still do an overnight decoction. See here for our instructions on how to get maximum impact from your tea infusions.

Wildcrafted NZ is all about slow living. I will not always have everything available due to seasonal variations in availability of the herbs I use. And, due to our limited climate in our part of the world, we cannot grow everything here in New Zealand. I will always do my best to ensure that the herbs I offer are the very best in quality.
If you have a special blend request or questions, please let me know by sending me an EMAIL.
