Dr. Meena was interviewed about the effects of Ashwagandha by the national publication CNBC.

Ashwagandha is a “very powerful herb that has its origins in Ayurveda, which is the ancient form of medicine from India [that is] 5,000 years old,” says Dr. Meena Makhijani, an integrative medicine physician at UCLA Health and board-certified Ayurveda practitioner. “It is very effective, especially when we’re talking about stress and anxiety.
