ASHWAGANDHA: FOR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH
By: Articles by a Naturopathic Doctor and a Holistic Nutritionist
Ashwagandha can help you beat stress, sexual dysfunction,
autoimmune disease
and arthritis...
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an Ayurvedic herb. It is also known as Indian
ginseng
(although it is not strictly a member of the
ginseng
family). It is traditionally used as an adrenal and nervous system tonic, an adaptogen, and an immune modulator. In Ayurveda, it is classified as a Rasayana (rejuvenation) herb, which can promote physical and mental health, rejuvenate the body in debilitated conditions and increase longevity. It grows in India and Africa.
Current research has implicated Ashwagandha in treating various conditions, including anxiety, sexual dysfunction, neurologically degenerative conditions (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's), autoimmune diseases, arthritis and healthy cell growth.
Introduction To Adaptogens
Ashwagandha has active constituents called withanolides. These are chemicals that resemble human steroid (stress and sex) hormones. This gives them the potential to supplement these hormones in the body in cases of insufficient production or to compete with excess levels produced. This means that supplementation can help normalize hormone levels, whether high or low.
In addition to the effects of the withanolides, ashwagandha supplements prevent the depletion of
vitamin C
in the body. Your adrenal glands need
vitamin C
to produce hormones, such as cortisol and sex hormones. It has also been studied for its ability to increase sexual functioning and physical endurance. This is because the herb stimulates the production of sex hormones such as
testosterone. Testosterone is produced in the adrenal glands and is responsible for libido and muscle growth. This herb can also help to improve semen quality. The herb has also been able to reduce the expression of a certain
estrogen
receptor in human tissues and act as a male aphrodisiac.
Immune System Modulation And Neuroprotection
Ashwagandha root also modulates the immune system. It does this by helping to promote underactive immune responses and reduce overactive immune responses like those in autoimmune diseases. Because of these effects, it has also been studied for its ability to protect joint cartilage in cases of rheumatoid and
osteoarthritis.
The herb also provides benefits for neurological issues. For example, people with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases also sometimes use Ashwagandha because of its neuroprotective effects.
In addition, this herb can be used as a treatment for anxiety, verified by several studies in the last few years. Thousands of people have discovered the benefits of adaptogenic herbs, which help them ward off fatigue, stress and anxiety without the negative side effects associated with prescription drugs.
How Can I Take Ashwagandha?
You can find it as a raw herb, liquid extract, tincture, and encapsulated herb. Most supplements use the root. However, there is some research involving leaf extract. You can find this herb on its own or in combination with other herbs.
Dosing varies depending on the situation, form and particular study:
- Root extract: 1-2g daily.
- Tea: You can take up to 3 cups a day of the herb's tea (using 1-6g of the whole herb).
- Liquid and tincture preparations: between 2 and 4ml three times daily.
- Leaf extract: there is no current dosing as the research is still relatively new.
Important Information
Pregnant women should not use Ashwagandha because it may increase the risk of miscarriage. Do not use it if you suffer from hypertension. It may also increase the effect of the sedative and anti-anxiety medication. Do not use it if you take digoxin, as there is a potential for interaction.
