Why We Love
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub that grows in Asia and Africa. It has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional system of healing that originated in India. Ashwagandha is commonly used for stress relief, as it is believed to have adaptogenic properties that help the body cope with physical and mental stress. It is also thought to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting effects.
When taking ashwagandha as a supplement, it’s important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the label. Side effects are rare but may include nausea or stomach upset if taken in large doses. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take ashwagandha without consulting their doctor first.
