Ashwagandha contains chemicals that might help calm the brain, reduce swelling, lower blood pressure, and alter the immune system. Since ashwagandha is traditionally used as an adaptogen, it is used for many conditions related to stress. Adaptogens are believed to help the body resist physical and mental stress.

Ashwagandha may be responsible for its sleep-promoting effects. Ashwagandha’s main active ingredients are believed to carry a host of benefits including the ability to ease stress. Stress has been linked to poor sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. If taking ashwagandha before bed helps you relax, this may be another way by which it promotes better sleep.

Ashwagandha may be an option for people who are interested in trying alternative remedies for sleep, hormones and mood support. However, some groups should avoid ashwagandha. Get in touch with us directly to find out more information regarding this.
