Medical researchers have been studying Ashwagandha (Winter Cherry) for
years, there have been more than 200 studies on the healing benefits of
this botanical. Some key examples of the potential healing effects of
Ashwagandha are:
• Brain Health*
• Alzheimer's Support*
• Promotes Graceful Aging*
• Thyroid Benefits*
• Menopausal Support*
• Memory Support*
• Protects & Strengthens the Immune System*
• Helps Combat the Effects of Stress*
• Improves Learning and Brain Reaction Time*
• Reduces Anxiety and Depression without causing Drowsiness*
• Helps reduce brain-cell degeneration*
• Stabilizes blood sugar*
• Helps lower cholesterol
• Offers anti-inflammatory benefits*
• Contains anti-malarial properties*
• Enhances sexual potency for both men and women*
• Reduces Immunosuppression*
• Shown to ease the pain in Chemotherapy*
Because ashwagandha has traditionally been used to treat various diseases
associated with nerve tissue damage related to the destructive molecules
known as free radicals, some researchers have speculated that the herb may
have antioxidant properties. Free-radical damage plays a role in normal
aging and in such neurological conditions as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.*

Revitalization: Women: Another study (1) has shown women taking Ashwagandha
have lowered stress-related disorders and also improved their energy
levels.*
Adaptogenic Herb: In Ayurveda, there are specific herbs with adaptogenic
benefits, Ashwagandha is one of them. Adaptogens are substances (a
combination of amino acids, vitamins, and herbs) that modulate your
response to stress or a changing environment. Adaptogens help the body cope
with external stresses such as toxins in the environment and internal
stresses such as anxiety and insomnia.*
According to Ayurveda, our bodies are woven from food. The nutrients we
ingest are metabolized into the energy and information that form our cells,
tissues, and organs. Every day our bodies need essential vitamins,
minerals, and other nutrients to maintain our body’s delicate balance.
Taking an Ashwagandha supplement is a highly effective way to create that
balance.*
Brain Health / Alzheimer’s: Emotional, physical, and chemical stress can
all have damaging effects on the brain and nervous system. Recent research
has proven ashwagandha is more than a stress reliever, it also protects the
brain from degeneration and improves symptoms of Alzheimer’s, depression,
and anxiety.*
One of the main reasons ashwagandha is so effective at healing the brain
has to do with its powerful antioxidants that destroy free radicals that
cause aging. A study published in Phyto-therapy Research explain these
benefits:*
“Several studies have revealed that natural antioxidants, such as vitamin
E, vitamin C, and beta-carotene, may help in scavenging free radicals
generated during the initiation and progression of this [Alzheimer’s]
disease. But Ashwagandha afforded lipid peroxidation inhibitory effects
more potent than commercial antioxidants.”
Researchers at the National Brain Research Centre found that mice with
Alzheimer’s were unable to retain what they learned, but after 20 days of
supplementing with ashwagandha, this improved significantly. The results of
the study found a reduction in amyloid plaques (these cause degradation of
the brain).*
Thyroid Benefits: One of the most incredible aspects of adaptogenic herbs
like ashwagandha is that it can help people with both hypo and hyperthyroid
issues. It has been shown to support a sluggish thyroid for people
diagnosed with Hashimoto's, and has been shown to improve the health of
those with an overactive thyroid or Graves’ disease. Adaptogenic herbs work
with your body to bring you back into balance whether your levels are high
or low.*
Animal studies reveal ashwagandha has a thyroid hormone balancing effect.
In a 20 days study mice were given ashwagandha and their T3 and T4 levels
were analyzed along with lipid peroxidation (anti-oxidant protection).
Significant increases in serum T4 were found which indicates this herb has
a stimulatory effect on a sluggish thyroid.*
Also, ashwagandha may benefit thyroid function because it greatly reduced
lipid peroxidation by promoting scavenging of free radicals that cause
cellular damage. These results prove ashwagandha can be useful in treating
hypothyroidism.*
There are currently millions of people who struggle with thyroid problems
(many who don’t even know it) and ashwagandha may just be the solution they
are searching for.*
Adrenal Fatigue: Ashwagandha has also been proven effective in supporting
adrenal function helping you overcome adrenal fatigue and chronic stress.*
Your adrenal glands are endocrine glands that are responsible for releasing
hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) in response to stress on your body.*
If your adrenals are overtaxed due to an overabundance of emotional,
physical, and mental stress it can lead to a condition known as adrenal
fatigue.*
Mood Enhancing (Improvement): There is also now evidence that ashwagandha
is effective at treating both anxiety and depression. In fact, in a recent
study, the results were comparable to common pharmaceutical drugs lorazepam
and imipramine without the side effects.*
In the 12-week controlled study, 87 participants with anxiety were given
300mg of ashwagandha two times a day or two placebo pills two times per
day. The group treated with ashwagandha resulted in much greater
improvements in anxiety as well as focus reduced stress and decreased
fatigue than the placebo group.*
The other major benefit of ashwagandha is that there are no adverse
reactions by taking it compared to anti-depressant and anti-anxiety
medications which can have terrible side effects.
