Ashwagandha, the intelligent herb
Share
Do you often feel stressed, tired, and have lost the energy to do everyday tasks? Then ashwagandha might be something for you. An Indian herb that is said to counteract stress and restore mental balance.
What is ashwagandha?Ashwagandha is a shrub that primarily grows in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. It is the roots of this shrub that are used to make supplements, teas, and powders. The name "ashwagandha" literally means "the smell of a horse" in Sanskrit – but don't worry, it is not the taste but the power and strength it is said to provide that has earned this name.
How can Ashwagandha help you?
Ashwagandha has gained a reputation as a adaptogen – a natural substance that helps the body manage stress. But it is far from the only area where this super herb can be beneficial. Here are some of the most common benefits of ashwagandha:
Stress and AnxietyAshwagandha can help lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which in turn can reduce stress and anxiety. Many people use it as a natural way to feel more relaxed and calm.
Better Sleep: Do you have trouble sleeping? Ashwagandha can help improve sleep quality, so you wake up rested and ready for the day.
Energy and EnduranceOm you feel tired or lack energy, ashwagandha can help increase your physical endurance and give you an energy boost without the crash that coffee can sometimes cause.
Immune systemThe herb is also known for strengthening the immune system, which helps the body fight infections and keep you healthy.
Cognitive FunctionThere are studies that suggest that ashwagandha may support brain function, improve memory, and concentration.
Does ashwagandha have any side effects?
As long as you follow the recommended dosage, there are no reported side effects. However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should refrain from using it as it is not entirely certain how it could affect the fetus.Even though ashwagandha is natural and safe for most people, it is always good to talk to your doctor before starting a new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any form of medical condition.
