Ashwagandha is a trending herb in our culture right now! Many people have heard that it's good for anxiety, and there's clinical support for that claim. Ashwagandha is unique among adaptogens for its sedative qualities rather than being stimulating. It manages the adrenal system and cortisol levels in the body.
Ashwagandha means "horse sweat", which alludes both to the smell of the root as well as the virility benefit that many people claim it has as as reproductive tonic. The increase in s*x drive is theorized to be because of reduced stress levels.
From a subjective and holistic perspective, our Green Folk Medicine Maker likens the effect to taking the reigns and having better control over one's lower impulses, animal mind, or the "steed" one rides in a Buddhist sense (see the Buddha head in market pictures!). This experience is supported by clinical studies that not only point to a decrease in anxiety but also a significant increase in cognitive function.
These are some of the many reasons why we choose to have Ashwagandha as part our product line! Take control of your health starting with your mind - our Ashwagandha tincture is waiting for you at the market.
