Resumen

Ashwagandha, an ayurvedic medicinal plant, has been found to be a major contributor in treating medical ailments. Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest traditional medical systems originated in India through various indigenous theories, beliefs and experiences. Often translated as science of "ayus" (life) and "ved" (knowledge), it emphasizes the use of herbs and their derivatives for prevention of disease, rejuvenation of body systems, and improving the quality of life. In this chapter, we will discuss some of the immuno-modulatory effects of withaferin A (WFA) as well as its growth-inhibitory effects on B cell lymphoma, leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome.
