Benefits of Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha, a versatile herb, has numerous benefits. It is an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to stress and brings it back to a normal state. It effectively supports both branches of the autonomic nervous system, helping the body resist stress and recover from it. Ashwagandha is known to significantly lower cortisol levels, which aids in weight loss, improves insulin resistance, and helps manage stress-induced insomnia. It also enhances brain function, reduces anxiety, improves cognitive function, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it improves stamina during exercise, stimulates the thyroid, boosts the immune system, and has positive effects on male hormones and fertility.
