The Amazing Health Benefits Of Ashwagandha

The amazing Ashwagandha herb is abundant primarily in India

. The ashwagandha root is used to create an herbal compound that provides energy and stamina, similar to effects of ginseng. It is sometimes referred to as Indian Ginseng. Ashwagandha use is relatively new to North America, although it has been used for thousands of years in India. Alternative health practitioners all over the world are excited about the many benefits of this herbal supplement.

Research has shown that ashwagandha works with the brain to create calming neurotransmitters. Just a daily dose of 400 mg. may help to alleviate stress-related headaches, and this happens within about four weeks, on average. This is great news for those of us who live with this health issue. Other known benefits of ashwagandha are anxiety reduction, less irritability and less nervousness. These effects are typically apparent in about 4-6 weeks after beginning a daily dosage.

Compounds found in Ashawagandha can have a calming and soothing effect on the adrenal glands. In addition, yet another benefit of Ashwagandha is that it will control your levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which means that it can help to control belly fat buildup.

There are many more benefits attributed to the ashwagandha root. It is a powerful antioxidant, it enhances immunity, it may act as a natural libido enhancer for both men and women, it can help to control levels of cortisol (stress hormone), it can enhance brain function -- and it has no known side effects.

It should be noted that Ashwagandha is not an herb you can take for a month or so and expect all of the above benefits. It should be taken long term for the full benefits, and can take up to two months before noticing the Ashwagandha benefits.

Ashwagandha is also available in a tincture form. The recommended dosage for the liquid product is one-half teaspoon to one teaspoon daily. There are no known side effects from taking ashwagandha, but it is a good idea to check with your doctor or other medical professional before using this or any nutritional supplement.
