Natural mineral salt is considered to be the best salt because it is easy to digest and does not cause water retention as readily as other types of salt (Pole, Ayurvedic Medicine). Salt enkindles the digestive fire, stimulates the appetite, and enhances the sense of taste. Salt helps digest natural toxins (ama) and clears the subtle channels of the body.

The name also alludes to its reputation in Ayurveda for bestowing the vitality and strength of a horse. Our Ashwagandha is certified organically grown in accordance with Oregon Tilth standards and the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.
