Withania somnifera, known commonly as ashwagandha, is an evergreen shrub in the Solanaceae or nightshade family that grows in Nepal, India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Several other species in the genus Withania are morphologically similar.

The plant, particularly its root powder, has been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine. Ashwagandha supplements are commonly sold, typically containing root or leaf powder or extracts. Notwithstanding its use in herbal medicine and dietary supplements, there is insufficient scientific evidence that W. somnifera is safe or effective for treating any health condition or disease.
