Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), a revered herb in Ayurvedic medicine, is highly valued for its mental health benefits. As an adaptogen, it helps the body manage stress by regulating cortisol, the primary stress hormone. Research suggests it reduces anxiety, enhances mood, and promotes relaxation by supporting the body's stress response system and influencing GABAergic activity, which has calming effects on the nervous system.
Studies highlight its potential to improve memory, attention, and cognitive function while reducing tension and fatigue. It is particularly useful for those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety disorders, and even symptoms of mild cognitive impairment. Moreover, ashwagandha has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties that contribute to overall mental well-being and resilience to stressโ
For safe use, common dosages include 300โ600 mg per day of root extract or up to 6 grams of the whole powder. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or sensitivities should consult a healthcare professional before use, especially since it may interact with medications or conditions like thyroid imbalances or iron overloadโ
