From goji berries to garlic, many foods have been elevated to superfood status in recent years. Packed with phytonutrients, antioxidants and flavonoids, these superstar foods offer a whole range of incredible health benefits – when eaten as part of a balanced diet, of course.

And thanks to some impressive research, Ashwagandha has joined the superfood ranks too. Also know as Indian Ginseng, Ashwagandha is considered one of the most important adaptogens in Ayurvedic medicine. The herb’s anti-inflammatory properties help to ease bodily pains, calm the nervous system, increase stamina and boost concentration.
