Herb spotlight
Withania somnifera
One of Ayurveda’s most respected herbs, traditionally taken to support strength, stamina and a calm response to everyday stress. We use the mature root only, milled with nothing added.
Quality
Four steps stand between the raw herb and the jar in your hand.
Each lot is identified botanically before it is accepted, so the right species and the right plant part go into the jar.
Cleaning, shade-drying and, where classical texts call for it, Shodhana purification, without harsh chemical solvents.
Heavy metals by ICP-MS, microbial limits and pesticide residue, tested against pharmacopoeial limits.
A product is released only when every test result is within its permitted limit.

The name joins two Sanskrit words: giri, mountain, and vana, forest. It reflects the wild landscapes where many Ayurvedic herbs traditionally grow, and our mark combines a mountain and a leaf in a single shape.
Ayurveda is India’s traditional system of wellbeing, with written texts going back more than two thousand years. It emphasises daily routine, diet and the use of herbs, minerals and spices suited to each person.
In Ayurveda, rasayana describes rejuvenating herbs and preparations taken regularly to support strength, vitality and healthy ageing. Ashwagandha, shatavari, amla and shilajit are well-known examples.
A single-herb product contains one botanical only, such as ashwagandha root powder. A multi-herb formulation combines several herbs that Ayurveda traditionally uses together. Our Reserve collection is single-herb; our Formulations collection is multi-herb, with every ingredient and its quantity listed.
Yes. Girivana capsules use HPMC, a shell made from plant cellulose, so they are suitable for vegetarians.
Follow the directions on the label, which usually suggest taking capsules after meals with warm water or milk. Do not exceed the stated dose, and ask a registered Ayurvedic practitioner if you are unsure what suits you.
