Ashwagandha – a Real Treasure of Ayurvedic Medicine

Ashwagandha belongs to the group of substances called adaptogens that are gaining in popularity recently. Why have they suddenly become so ubiquitous? According to the professional literature, these are plant substances that can have a beneficial effect on the body, primarily by supporting the nervous system, and thus increasing the body’s resistance to stress. This is extremely important because most of us unfortunately function in a state of increased mental tension. For this reason, natural methods that effectively support our body in the fight against the omnipresent stress are worth their weight in gold. In simple translation, the name adaptogen means a substance that facilitates the adaptation of the body to adverse environmental conditions.

 

Stress, Sleep, Concentration

Numerous studies show that Ashwagandha increases the body’s natural resistance not only to mental but also physical stress thanks to which it has a positive effect on the mood and contributes to the reduction of fatigue. It has also been proven that supplementation has a positive effect on cognitive functions, i.e. memory, thinking, perception, as well as the so-called expressive functions, e.g. speaking, writing and reading.

It is also impossible to overestimate the fact that Ashwagandha helps to improve the quality of sleep and the very process of falling asleep. The problem is particularly important as sleep disorders, which are not irrelevant to the quality of life and mental well-being, are becoming more and more common.

Scientific research has also confirmed the beneficial effect of Ashwagandha on supporting memory processes and the ability to concentrate. Its supplementation is worth considering when there is a problem with mental exhaustion and anxiety.

 

 

Activity and Health

This is not all ashwagandha has to offer. When used by physically active people, it leads to the improvement of motor coordination and increased efficiency. Due to its influence on the increase of muscle mass and strength, it can also be recommended for those who do strength training. Thanks to the multidimensional course of action, it seems to be an excellent solution supporting the condition of the body in sport – not only competitive disciplines. 

It has also been shown that Ashwagandha supports both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory processes, protecting our body against the negative effects of free radicals.

An additional advantage is the beneficial effect of the adaptogen on sexual function and fertility. In men, supplementation may be useful as part of supporting the treatment of stress-related infertility. Due to the effect on the reduction of stress, a subsequent improvement in the quality of sperm is observed. In turn, in women, a beneficial effect on sexual function has been proven.
