What is Ashwagandha?
The ashwagandha plant is a small shrub with yellow flowers that's native to India and North Africa. Extracts or powder from the plant's root or leaves are used to treat a variety of conditions.
Ashwagandha is an incredibly healthy medicinal herb. It's classified as an "adaptogen," meaning that it can help your body manage stress. Ashwagandha also provides all sorts of other benefits for your body and brain. For example, it can lower blood sugar levels, reduce cortisol, boost brain function and help fight symptoms of anxiety and depression.
It has been used for over 3,000 years to relieve stress, increase energy levels and improve concentration.
Many of its health benefits are attributed to its high concentration of withanolides, which have been shown to fight inflammation.
Can Reduce Blood Sugar Levels
In several studies, ashwagandha has been shown to lower blood sugar levels. One test-tube study found that it increased insulin secretion and improved insulin sensitivity in muscle cells. Also, several human studies have confirmed its ability to reduce blood sugar levels in both healthy people and those with diabetes
Can Reduce Cortisol Levels
Cortisol is known as a "stress hormone" because your adrenal glands release it in response to stress, as well as when your blood sugar levels get too low. Unfortunately, in some cases, cortisol levels may become chronically elevated, which can lead to high blood sugar levels and increased fat storage in the abdomen.
Studies have shown that ashwagandha may help reduce cortisol levels.
In one study in chronically stressed adults, those who supplemented with ashwagandha had significantly greater reductions in cortisol, compared to the control group. Those taking the highest dose had a 30% reduction, on average.
May Reduce Inflammation
Several studies have shown that ashwagandha helps decrease inflammation. Studies have found that it increases the activity of natural killer cells, which are immune cells that fight infection and help you stay healthy.
It has also been shown to decrease markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein. This marker is linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
May Lower Cholesterol and Triglycerides
In addition to its anti-inflammatory effects, ashwagandha may help improve heart health by reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
One study found that it lowered total cholesterol by as much as 53% and triglycerides by nearly 45%.
In a 60-day study in chronically stressed adults, the group taking the highest dosage of ashwagandha experienced a 17% decrease in "bad" LDL cholesterol and an 11% decrease in triglycerides, on average.
