Ashwagandha, also known as Indian Ginseng, is an Ayurvedic herb and an adaptogen known for helping the body manage stress and anxiety more effectively.
Adaptogens, which are often plant extracts, work to normalize body functions, supporting the immune and endocrine systems without disrupting normal bodily functions or causing adverse effects. Key properties include non-specific resistance to stressors, a normalizing influence on the body, and being innocuous.
Ashwagandha can reduce levels of cortisol, the hormone that the adrenal glands produce in response to stress.
In arthritis, Ashwagandha can help modulate the immune response, reducing inflammation and promoting a balanced immune system.
Ashwagandha may help improve sleep quality and even enhance athletic performance.
Suggested dosage: 2 caps daily, one in the morning and one at night.
