About Amukura Kilangu (Winter Cherry Root)
Amukura, also known as Ashwagandha or Winter Cherry Root, is a stout shrub that grows up to 5 to 6 feet and bears red fruits. The name Ashwagandha translates to "the smell of a horse," referring to the root's unique aroma and its ability to impart the strength of a horse. This herb plays a significant role in Ayurveda and is also known as Indian Ginseng due to its rejuvenating properties. It is widely used in Unani and Ayurvedic medicines for its numerous health benefits.
Benefits of Amukura Kilangu (Winter Cherry Root)
- Relieves Stress: Amukkara is highly effective in reducing stress and its side effects. It helps lower cortisol (stress hormones) levels and works as a tonic to help the body adapt to stress, strengthen the nervous system and adrenals, and improve sleep quality.
- Stimulates Brain Power: Contains chemicals that improve the production of acetylcholine, enhancing cognitive abilities such as thinking, concentration, and memory. It may also help reduce the risk of age-related mental illnesses like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
- Improves Immunity: High in antioxidants, Amukkara boosts the immune system by increasing white blood cell production and improving overall immune function. It provides energy during weakness and aids recovery after illness. (Note: Amukkara tea is not recommended for those with high blood pressure.)
