      abstract = {Rapidly increasing aging population and environmental  stressors are the two main global concerns of increasing  incidence of a variety of pathologies in the modern  society. The complex etiologies and pathologies cause major  challenges to disease treatment. On the other hand, several  herbs are known for their health-caring and disease-curing  activities. Ashwagandha, a popular herb in Indian  traditional home medicine, Ayurveda, has gathered  increasing recognition in recent years when the chemically  synthesized drugs for single target therapies showed  limited success and adverse toxic effects. Ashwagandha is  known as a powerful adaptogen and trusted to enhance  function of the brain, reproductive system, cell-mediated  immunity and increase the body's defense against disease,  and possess anti-inflammatory, anticancer and  anti-arthritic activities. In this book, for the first  time, we provide a complete portrait on scientific  understanding of the effects of Ashwagandha and its active  principles for a variety of preventive and therapeutic  activities.},
