Herbs play an important role in the traditional systems of medicine and have been used in medical practices since olden days. Herbs have the potential to act as therapeutic agents against various human diseases.The present research is designed based on the concept on the use of herbal adaptogen (Withania somnifera) to combat contemporarily increasing stress related disorders.The proliferative and differentiation properties of stem cells treated with herbal extracts have shown promise in diseases such as osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disorders and other tissue degenerative disorders (Bickford et al., 2006). These herbs help to balance cortisol levels which are associated with healthy energy levels and help the body to maintain restful sleep at appropriate times (Kaur et al., 2004). These adaptogens boost the immune system and improves the general wellbeing and slows down the aging process and revitalizes the entire body by stimulating the production of stem cells (Bhattacharya and Muruganandam, 2003). The aim of the research work is to assess the proliferative potential of Indian adaptogenic herb namely Withania somnifera on adipose tissue derived cells from Indian dogs.Keywords
