Ashwagandha is rich in iron and very useful for anaemia.

It lowers the blood pressure and promotes deep and restful sleep, which is useful in cases of nervous exhaustion, insomnia and stress related conditions.

It can be employed as a supportive remedy for chronic fatigue syndrome and ME, and is indicated for muscle aches and pains, especially when accompanied by low grade fevers.

It is also said to be effective for rheumatism and arthritis type pains as well as for lumbago.

Furthermore, it is also used in urinary and respiratory complaints, chronic coughs, bronchitis and even emphysema as well as for painful urination.

Ashwagandha is hailed as an excellent aphrodisiac, though its action is not immediate. Rather, it acts as a tonic for sexual and reproductive disorders such as lack of libido and seminal debility by increasing strength and energy levels.

Best results for this use can be noticed after about one month of continued use.
