Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera dunal) is especially important herb in TSM because of its multidimensional phytochemical profile. It contains more than 12 alkaloids and 35 withanolides. In the present study Ashwagandha cultivate by using Organic manure specifically Farmyard Manure and collected from wild source of same age. The chromatographic profile of both the samples were observed and compared for its values. The finding suggests that Chromatographically (HPLC- both the wild and cultivated Ashwagandha sample appears to be the equally potent so cultivated source is as an optimal source of ashwagandha.These bioactive compounds are known for their adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties, making Ashwagandha a versatile herb used to promote overall health, reduce stress, enhance cognitive function, and support immune function.
KEY-WORDS: chromatography, cultivation, wild and cultivated Ashwagandha
