Ashwaganda For Adrenals, Thyroid and Brain

Ashwagandha is one of the most powerful adaptogenic herbs in Ayurvedic healing. Belonging to the same family as the tomato, Ashwagandha is a plump shrub with yellow flowers and it bears red fruit about the size of a raisin. The herb is native to the dry regions of India, northern Africa, and the Middle East.

The benefits are astounding, and include:

ADRENAL STRESS RELATED CONDITIONS: Ashwagandha is a powerful adaptogenic herb that is highly beneficial in helping you with stress-related conditions such as adrenal fatigue, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and full blown adrenal exhaustion.

BRAIN HEALTH: Ashwagandha is also a natural tonic for the brain and can help with brain fog, migraine headaches, nerve pain, and even shingles.

THYROID: Ashwagandha helps the body increase production of thyroid hormones which increase energy, metabolism, and promote a nourishing sleep.

AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS: Ashwaganda has shown to be quite effective for people with fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and MS.

You can take ashwaganda in supplement form, but be absolutely certain you are buying a high quality brand like Organic India. The typical dose people may take is 600 to 1,000 mg, twice a day. For people who use it to help with insomnia, having a cup of warm almond milk with a teaspoon of powdered Ashwagandha in the evenings can help. The small amount of fat in the almond milk will help with absorption.

Caution: As with ALL herbs and supplements, always consult with your healthcare practitioner before using supplements if you have any health conditions. Ashwagandha is not recommended for women who are pregnant.
