        abstract = {Background: Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, significantly affecting quality of life. Herbal medicines such as Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) have been traditionally used for their anxiolytic and adaptogenic properties.  Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Ashwagandha mother tincture in patients suffering from anxiety disorders Methods: A prospective, single-arm clinical study was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders based on clinical criteria. Patients were administered Ashwagandha mother tincture (Q) in doses of 10–15 drops diluted in water, twice daily for 8 weeks. Assessment was done using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.  Results: Out of 30 patients, 22 (73.3%) showed marked improvement, 6 (20%) showed moderate improvement, and 2 (6.7%) showed no significant change. The mean HAM-A score reduced from 26.4 at baseline to 11.2 at 8 weeks, indicating statistically significant improvement.  Conclusion:  Ashwagandha mother tincture demonstrated significant anxiolytic effects and can be considered a safe and effective therapeutic option in managing anxiety disorders.},
