In a life ruled by deadlines, fast paced schedules and ambitions, we tend to miss out on listening to another voice- our stress levels. According to a 2019 survey, almost 82% of Indian population suffers from stress [economictimes.indiatimes.com, March 2019]. It’s shocking to see how much we dream of achieving and yet aren’t focused on balancing our physical and mental health. It’s almost as equally important to live with a peaceful mind to ensure that we live a truly healthy and wholesome life. That is where the goodness of Ashwagandha comes into play.

Ashwagandha is an ages-old Ayurvedic herb used as an adaptogen (powerful stress fighters/ stress resisters). Adaptogens help stabilize physiological processes and maintain and aid in homeostasis (the ability to maintain a stable inner state of the body, that doesn’t change despite external changes). Ashwagandha gets its medicinal properties from natural steroids present in its leaves and roots called Withanolides. However, to reap its health benefits for us, it is ideally consumed from Ashwagandha capsules or supplements that help the system absorb it.

While being a stress-buster is the primary strength of Ashwagandha, this herb has also proved to possess a number of integral and wholesome health benefits as well. Ashwagandha capsule uses are many-fold, and can greatly help in fulfilling the following benefits:

Potent immunity booster and anti-inflammatory agent

Ashwagandha is known to be excellent immune boosters that help develop and strengthen disease-fighting immune cells. They also exhibit good anti-inflammatory properties and are used as pain relievers to treat conditions such as arthritis. Moreover, Ashwagandha contains rich iron content that helps increase red blood cells count in the body.

Supports adrenal glands that help reduce stress & anxiety

Higher cortisol levels generate stress hormones in the body. As a primary agent of stress relief, Ashwagandha is known to support the body’s adrenal glands to help normalize cortisol levels in the body so that this in turn, helps fight stress. Adrenal health is also linked to one’s thyroid function, so a healthy adrenal function will mean a healthier thyroid gland.

Helps in stabilizing and regulating blood sugar levels

Increased sugar levels are not just about chronic diabetes, but also linked to depression and dementia, both neurological disorders. Ashwagandha’s adaptogen properties also work towards increasing low levels of blood sugar and decreasing high levels as well.

Helps the body fight against neurodegenerative diseases

Along with the aforementioned neurological disorders, Ashwagandha is also known to combat neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease. Its natural antioxidant properties help prevent cell damage which leads to stronger cell system and neurological health.

Increases energy, stamina and encourages endurance

Ashwagandha acts primarily on improving heart and lung capacity, thereby aiding in strengthening energy levels and fighting fatigue.
