Why we love Ashwagahda as a supplement.

We love Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), the ancient medicinal herb used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to support overall health and well-being. Native to India and North Africa, the adaptogenic herb helps the body adapt to stress. The root and berry of the ashwagandha plant make a variety of supplements, including capsules, tablets, and teas.

Ashwagandha was first discovered for human use in the ancient Indian alternative medicine practice of Ayurveda. Written records of ashwagandha’s medicinal properties date back to around 1500 BCE, in the Atharva Veda, an ancient Indian text on medicine and magic. The herb was used to support overall health and well-being and believed to promote strength and vitality.

Over time, ashwagandha’s reputation as a powerful adaptogen grew, and it was used to treat a wide variety of health conditions. In Ayurvedic medicine, the herb was used to support the nervous system, to improve memory and cognitive function, to promote healthy sleep, and to reduce inflammation and stress.

In recent years, scientific research has validated many of the traditional uses of ashwagandha. Studies have found that the herb can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and improve cognition, memory, and attention. Ashwagandha supports healthy sleep patterns and improves the body’s ability to cope with stress.

Ashwagandha’s ability to support overall health and well-being, confirmed through various scientific studies, is found helpful for people with diabetes, cancer, and infertility. Research has shown that ashwagandha can help to lower blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and improve sperm quality in men. Studies have found that ashwagandha can help to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer patients.
