Benefits of Ashwagandha for Stress and Depression

Ashwagandha, an herb with a history of 6,000 years, is a powerful adaptogen that helps cope with stress and depression. It has been shown to increase stamina, reduce the hormone cortisol (which is associated with stress), and make cortisol more sensitive, resulting in decreased inflammation. Ashwagandha also offers cognitive benefits, immune system support, and may help lower blood sugar levels. Despite some reports of side effects, it has shown to have minimal adverse reactions in studies.
