Ashwagandha is a powerful adaptogen that offers a wide variety of benefits. This medicinal herb has the ability to boost energy, reduce the stress response, fight fatigue, decrease anxiety, enhance brain and nervous system function, promote a healthy reproductive system and support the body’s defenses against disease.

Ashwagandha also has potent antioxidant properties that help protect against cellular damage caused by free radicals.

This evergreen shrub grows in Africa and Asia and is an important herb in Ayurveda, a type of medicine that is centered upon promoting healing and balance within the whole system, mind, body and spirit.

Ashwagandha is typically found in powder form and it’s generally safe to add it to your food and tea. As with any supplement, however; talk with your care provider, especially if you’re increasing the amount you are taking.
