Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogen working on the endocrine system and the Hypo-Pituitary-Axis (HPA). The Sanskrit implies it gives the user the strength and stamina of a horse- with some doctors saying that taking it in the morning will allow you to run 20 miles while taking it at night will allow you to sleep like a baby. I am sure that is an exaggeration (at least in my case), but you get the idea.
