If you are desiring to increase energy, blunt aging and put a middle finger up to disease, then Ashwagandha is the herb you have been searching for. Ashwaganda is one of the most potent herbs in Ayurvedic Medicine, which contributes to significantly reducing cortisol, destroying free radicals and balancing thyroid hormones. Frequently, it is referred to as the "Indian Ginseng", due to its amazing rejuvenating and stress relieving properties. In the world of today, our bodies and central nervous systems are constantly put to the test. Deadlines, families, traveling and athletic endeavors. Your body is a savings account. You can't just keep pulling money out of your savings without putting money back in. The simple fact is, most of America is in debt with their own bodies. Ashwaganda can help payoff some of that debt and restore that beautiful savings account you had prior.
Ashwagandha Thyroid Benefits:
Ashwagandha is excellent at balancing your hormones. What is so incredible about this adaptogenic herb, is it actually helps patients of both hyper and hypo thyroid conditions. It also aids in reduction of Lipid Peroxidation by attacking free radicals that contribute to cellular damage. This makes it extremely crucial to treating Hypothyroidism. Being an adaptogen, this herb works to bring your body into it's own correct balance.
Ashwagandha Adrenal Gland Benefits:
Adrenals have been getting quite the hype these days. As they should, because they control so many various imperative functions in our body. A big one is hormones and this ties perfectly into energy output. Now, will I don't think everyone has Adrenal Fatigue, which is quite rare. I do believe however, that a lot of us are dealing with Adrenal Exhaustion. Personally, I was one of those people. Now, there are many things you need to put into action to balance your adrenals, yet Ashwagandha can be a miracle herb for your adrenals right off the bat.
Ashwaganda Increases Endurance and Stamina:
Several studies have shown that this herb can superpower endurance and reduce bodily pain. This means better recovery, which is due to its affect of lowering stress hormones and calming effects on the brain. As well, it has been shown to improve motivation and concentration. On top of this goodness, it contributes to increasing testosterone naturally and sex drive. Your girlfriends or wives will thank me later.
Cancer Fighter:
Ashwagandha in one study has been shown to have a potent anti-tumor effect. The effect is caused by its ability to boost the immune system, uptake white blood cell production and its antioxidant content. These factors tell cancer cells to pack their bags.
Mood Enhancer:
New studies have shown, that Ashwaganda has been shown to effectively treat anxiety and depression. One particular study took 87 participants over a 12 week period and administered 300mg of Ashwagandha to them. Half were given the two pills a day of placebo and the other group two pills of Ashwagandha. The group given Ashwagandha, saw a drastic improvement in stress, anxiety, focus, and decreased fatigue in comparison to the placebo group. Another kick in the ass, is that there are no side effects to taking the correct dosage. This is in comparison, to prescription medication for anxiety and depression, which can have some awful side effects.
Dosage:
I would recommend starting with 250mg-500mg and taking notes on how your body feels. There are several ways to take it. Note, that I am not a doctor. Through research and self experimentation, I have concluded that this is a healthy dose. Personally, I have found by pill or powder works best. You can combine the powder with smoothies or nut milks to make a great latte.
If you've made it down this far, which I doubt most of you have do to our worlds attention span of squirrels. I'm guilty of this myself. I truly hope you got useful information and a few laughs out of this one. Below, I'll throw some links to Ashwagandha products. Cheers to good health!
