Ashwagandha: The Ancient Health-Boosting Powerhouse that Rejuvenates the Mind, Body & Spirit
If you were stuck on a deserted island and could pick only one medicinal plant to have with you, Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), would be one of the best choices you could make. A veritable Swiss Army knife of the herbal kingdom, Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, does just about everything when it comes to improving health. Literally.
It positively impacts almost every system in the body, which is why the enlightened rishis—the ancient Hindu holy men of India—considered it one of the finest herbal medicines known to man. Revered for over 4,000 years in the Ayurvedic medical tradition in India, Ashwagandha is one of the world’s most powerful adaptogenic herbs, which means that it restores balance to the body and mind no matter what end of the spectrum you find yourself on.
An Ancient Medicine Backed By Modern Science
Ashwagandha is one of the few herbs that has been rigorously studied by researchers—and it has a mountain of quality scientific research behind it showing that it truly does work to improve health on many levels—from repairing and rebuilding the brain and nervous system, to balancing hormone levels, to strengthening the immune system, fighting aging, reducing anxiety and stress and improving mood, among many other things.
The Health Benefits of Aswagandha*
With positive effects on nearly every system in the body, Ashwagandha is one of the most beneficial herbs for the human mind, body and spirit. Here are some of the plants most prized benefits:
Repairs, Regenerates and Protects the Brain and Nervous System
One of Ashwagandha’s most interesting benefits is that it has been shown in a number of studies at universities in Japan to regenerate nerve cells and stimulate new neuronal growth in both human and animal nerve cells. [1-3] Ashwagandha also improves communication between nerve cells and stimulates the body to heal nervous system damage, which is important for overall brain function and health.
In a third published study, the researchers noted that ashwagandha helped promote the growth of both normal and damaged nerve cells, suggesting that the herb may boost healthy brain cell function as well as benefit diseased nerve cells, such as those that occur in neurodegenerative diseases. [4]
Improves Mental Performance and Cognition
Ashwagandha has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to enhance memory, mental performance, cognition and intellect. [6] One study in healthy adult volunteers found that a high-potency Ashwagandha extract taken for 14 days significantly improved reaction time in 5 of the 6 psychomotor performance tests measuring everything from attention span and brain to response speed to central integration, visuo-motor coordination and alertness, without being sedating or over-stimulating. [7]
Researchers also note that Ashwagandha is especially effective for age-related declines in these areas or those who have suffered head injury or from neurodegenerative illnesses. [6]
Reduces Anxiety and Stress and Improves Mood
One of Ashwagandha’s most prized benefits is its ability to powerfully reduce stress and anxiety. Multiple high-quality human studies have shown that regularly taking a high-potency extract of Ashwagandha significantly reduced anxiety in the majority of adults, even those suffering from severe levels of clinically diagnosed anxiety-spectrum disorders, without any of the negative side-effects of prescription anxiety medications. [8-10]
Withania somnifera was also shown to reduce the effects that stress has on the brain by up to 80% or more, making it a key herb for anyone who feels burnout or lives and works in a high-stress environment. In fact, Ashwagandha has also been shown to reduce cortisol levels, a key stress and anxiety related hormone, by 26% on average. [10-11]
Almost all of the studies that showed Ashwagandha reduced stress and anxiety also showed positive effects on mood as well as a secondary benefit.
Has Longevity and
Anti-Aging Properties
A number of studies on ashwagandha have shown that it has some level of anti-aging ability according to the researchers who studied it, showing positive effects on both the cellular and systemic level. [12-13]
Ashwagandha is known to regenerate and protect the neuronal cells in the brain and body, has potent antioxidant effects, reduces stress, increases and balances hormone production, strengthens immunity and reduces inflammation, all of which have been linked to increased longevity in various studies [14-15]
Herbal Aphrodisiac: Enhances Sexual Vitality, Libido and Performance
Ashwagandha has long been known to be an aphrodisiac and improve sensation and sexual performance in both men and women. It’s known to increase fertility in both men and women, improve semen quality and health in men, especially those that are infertile. Due to its ability to reduce anxiety and stress, many men also find it helps increase sexual stamina and reduces premature ejaculation.
Strengthens Immunity
Ashwagandha has a number of compounds that have been shown to strengthen immunity in a number of ways. It has been found to exhibit anti-bacterial [15-17, 21], anti-viral [18-19, 21], anti-parasitic [20-21] and anti-fungal [15, 21] properties and stimulate Natural Killer cells in human cellular studies. [14, 21]
Increases Hormone Levels and Balances Hormone Related Issues
One of Ashwagandha’s most incredible effects is its ability to balance and increase hormonal levels and improve hormone-related issues. Ashwagandha tended to increase and/or normalize levels of testosterone in men [11, 22-24] and do the same for estrogen in women [25-26]. Normalization means that it increased the hormone if levels were low or decreased it if levels were high.
Ashwagandha also reduced symptoms of menopause in women such as hot flashes, mood swings and anxiety and has been used for millennia in Ayurvedic medicine to help regulate and normalize women’s menstrual cycles. [25-27]. A number of studies on mice show that it may also positively regulate thyroid function which plays an important role in hormone regulation in both men and women.
Increased Energy,
Strength, Endurance
and Rejuvenation
One of Ashwagandha’s most ancient and famous uses is for rejuvenating and strengthening the body and mind at the deepest levels. The plant is considered one of the supreme adaptogens in Ayurvedic medicine and recent studies have shown that it improves power output, muscle size and recovery during athletic training, reduction in fatigue and overall improvement in strength. [5, 8-10, 22, 28-29]
Increases Ojas and Jing: Supplies Highly Rejuvenative Life-Force Energy
According to the ancient Indian system of medicine known as Ayurveda, Ashwagandha supplies ojas, which loosely translates to “vitality” or “life force.” In Ayurvedic philosophy, ojas is a primordial life energy that we all possess that keeps us alive and healthy but can be depleted by age, stress, poor diet/nutrition, sexual excess, toxins and more. Ayurvedic doctors believe that certain building foods and herbs, such as Ashwagandha, can resupply the body with ojas if it has been depleted or “top it up” in the case of those who are looking to further strengthen their already good health.
Jing energy, which Ashwagandha also supplies, is similar in many ways Ojas. According to Daoist philosophy, Jing is the deepest and most fundamental aspect of our energy. It governs the gradual processes of development and aging. Ashwagandha is classified as a jing-enhancing herb in the Daoist herbal tradition, which means that it is nourishing at the most fundamental levels to the body, mind and spirit.
