Adaptogens are non-toxic natural products which protect the body against biological, chemical and physical stressors by increasing non-specific host resistance to infections. Adaptogens exert a favorable effect on immunity, promote physical and mental stamina and are ideal supplements for rejuvenation.
APHRODISIAC ACTIVITY
It's primary use in India is as an aphrodisiac
by increasing sexual energy for male conditions like impotence,
sterility and premature ejaculation. Studies in India show that it
actually increases the sperm counts. In women it treats sterility and increases
fertility. In India, where vegetarianism has predominated,
Ashwagandha is regarded as an ideal energy tonic
that provides stamina and endurance.
ACHES AND PAINS
Experts say that Ashwagandha can reduce symptoms of stiff,
achy, painful joints. The herb is loaded with steroid lactones
(natural anti-inflammatories) that appear to be even stronger than hydrocortisone
drugs.
LEARNING ENHANCEMENT
Studies have shown Ashwagandha aids in
learning enhancement, memory retention and
anti-psychotic activity.
SPORTS MEDICINE
In Sports Medicine, it is a safe alternative
to anabolic steroids with similar results but without the harmful effects that
drugs often display. Studies suggest that a daily dosage of Ashwagandha
can double endurance for longer workouts and help burn more calories.
SOOTHING EFFECTS
Ashwagandha is calming and promotes deep
dreamless sleep. According to nutritionist Miguel Triana,
PhD, Ashwagandha appears to assist in the release
of brain chemicals that soothe the nervous system.
Studies show 200 mg. daily relieves insomnia for over 90% of women.
Experts believe it encourages sleep in the same way it banishes stress; by
lowering blood levels of stress hormones which disrupt sleep cycles.
