Ashwashila is a potent Rasayana formulation combining Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Shilajit (Asphaltum punjabianum) two highly revered Ayurvedic substances known for their rejuvenating, adaptogenic, and energy-enhancing properties.
It is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing stress, fatigue, weakness, low testosterone, or hormonal imbalances, and is often used in geriatric care, reproductive health, and physical endurance therapy.
The synergistic combination supports mental clarity, stamina, vitality, and post-illness recovery, while also acting on deeper Dhatus such as Shukra, Majja, and Ojas.
