Perhaps its main use, as described in Ayurvedic literature, is as a daily, long-term "rasayana" or rejuvenating treatment. Ashwagandha is one of the best known and best researched Ayurvedic herbs and holds a place in the Ayurvedic traditions similar to Ginseng in Chinese therapies. For that reason, Ashwagangha has been often referred to as the "Indian Ginseng".

Studies have shown its rejuvenating effect, particularly on the muscles and marrow.
