🌿ASHWAGANDA🌿

Ashwaganda has been a bit of a buzz word in the supplement and holistic space in recent years- but there is a good reason! Ashwagada root has been used for centuries in Ayurveda, as it helps to balance vata, one of the 3 doshas that comprise a persons constitution.

The claims on Ashwaganda are seemingly endless, but there are a number that have been backed up through scientific studies in recent years.

🌿Ashwaganda has been shown to help the body adapt to stress, lowering the responses to stress over time
🌿 Through the same mechanism, Ashwaganda has been shown to improve symptoms of anxiety and depression in folks with mental health conditions, lowering the instances of these symptoms and reducing cognitive impairment
🌿 Research suggests Ashwaganda can also be helpful in lowering blood sugar levels and A1c in folks with diabetes
🌿 Ashwaganda can also be helpful in improving cognitive function, such as attention and memory, due to its antioxidant effect on the brain

As always, consult with a healthcare provider before adding any supplement to your routine.
