Ashwagandha is an ancient Ayurvedic adaptogenic herb for rejuvenating the body and treating a variety of conditions. It is not only an adaptogen that balances many systems in the body, but it is a regenerative nerve-soothing tonic. Ashwagandha is said to calm the nervous system which is often where we carry our stress, leading to anxiety and feeling wound up and highly strung. It offers hormonal and adrenal support.

Ayurveda, the most ancient of the medical sciences, has used Ashwagandha as one of its most important Rasayana (tonic) herbs for almost 6000 years. A tonic herb can be taken without any toxic effects. In Ayurveda it is also regarded as an aphrodisiac, narcotic, diuretic, anthelmintic (expels parasites), astringent (heals wounds and certain digestive ailments), thermogenic (burns fat by boosting metabolism) and stimulant.

Ashwagandha has a long list of benefits that have been proven in therapeutic use and modern scientific research. The most incredible effect that it has is the ability to regenerate nerve damage in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s. It is also said to help with debility from old age, memory loss, improving stamina, diminishing insomnia, recovering from nervous breakdowns, healing goiter, fever and painful swellings and discouraging formation of tumours.

The antioxidants present in Ashwagandha have been shown to increase activity of the major free radical enzymes in the brain which reduces the toxic oxidative free radicals and may be responsible for its diverse range of effects.

Stress reduction

Chronic stress can create a number of mental and physical conditions. Ashwagandha is known to reduce these effects of chronic stress ranging from sexual dysfunction and skin conditions to poor memory and neurochemical deficiency. It lowers the stress hormone, cortisol, which has a cascade of benefits on the body such as improved sleep and better mood.

Improved brain function

One of the reasons for the nootropic effects of enhanced cognition and memory improvement is that Ashwagandha contains neuron-supporting compounds which improve signaling in the brain by regenerating the axons and dendrites, restructuring synapses and boosting neurotransmitter production.

Anti-inflammation

The anti-inflammatory effects are most welcome in those with rheumatic disease. Inflammation in the joints, muscles, bones and organs cause considerable discomfort and Ashwagandha is known to alleviate this inflammation. Inflammation is also known to go hand in hand with chronic pain and disease, and so minimising inflammation is essential for pain relief and healing.
