Ayurveda propagates the use of Ashwagandha for Rasayana (rejuvenating) and Vajikarana (aphrodisiac) purposes.
Other indications of use are respiratory issues, skin diseases, emaciation, muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disorders, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
It is also vividly found in other traditional systems such as Unani and Siddha and finds application as a folklore medicine too.
