What Are The Benefits Of Ashwagandha?

#supplements #functionalmedicine

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing. One of the main benefits of Ashwagandha is its remarkable stress-relieving properties. And stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the most potent drugs used to treat depression and anxiety.

Ashwagandha helps:

Reduce Stress: Ashwagandha helps reduce anxiety and depression. It reduces the stress hormone cortisol, lowers blood sugar levels, and improves lipid profiles.

Neuronal Regeneration: Ashwagandha helps regenerate axons and dendrites of brain nerve cells. And helps reconstruct synapses, the junctions where nerve cells communicate with other cells.

Boosting memory and restoring neural networks affected by neurodegenerative disease.
Neurotransmitters: Ashwagandha extract inhibits acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme responsible for breaking down the key neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Boosting memory, learning and cognition.

Ashwagandha boosts brain health and function in several ways. But two in particular stand out.

Ashwagandha enhances GABA receptors and regulates serotonin in the brain. It appears to work on neuron receptors, enabling GABA to connect easier. This inhibits the signals present under a stress response in the brain. Anxiety is reduced.

A study was conducted at The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine with 75 volunteers with moderate to severe anxiety. Ashwagandha produced a significant decrease in anxiety levels over the control group.

Ashwagandha improves cognitive and psychomotor performance in a healthy brain.

Dosage:
Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India recommends 3 – 6 grams daily of standard ground Ashwagandha powder.

For arthritis: 250 – 500 mg of extract (4-5% withanolides)
For antioxidant protection: 100 – 200 mg of extract (4-5% withanolides)
For immunity: 100 – 200 mg of extract (4-5% withanolides)
For relaxation: 250 – 500 mg of extract (4-5% withanolides)
For stress: 250 – 500 mg of extract (4-5% withanolides)
For sexual performance: 250 – 500 mg of extract (4-5% withanolides)
For higher Ashwagandha doses like 500 mg, take 250 mg in the morning and another 250 mg early afternoon. And note the distinction between standard ground Ashwagandha powder and an extract. The extract is much more concentrated.
