Ashwagandha. Probably not an herb you’re familiar with. However, it’s one that’s been used in Eastern cultures for thousands of years. Why? Because Ashwagandha benefits are amazing!

Do you wish there was one herb you could take as a supplement daily and have a calm day? To feel good about your day? Feel confident in your day.

There is! That’s why we’re talking about ashwagandha today.

And it’s why ashwagandha is one of my favorite herbs and one I suggest to all my clients. It’s one of those great natural resources that God provides to help us live vibrant lives.

And you know that’s my mission! I love sharing the abundant resources the Lord created to enhance our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

I’m currently working on a series of videos, podcasts, and blog posts about the amazing herbs we can use to help enhance our lives.

For instance, oregano, which can be used in a plethora of recipes, and even make a delicious, nutritious, stomach-calming tea.

Ashwagandha is another one of those herbs to keep in your kitchen. (Our kitchen is the perfect place to utilize in our pursuit of excellent health!)

What is Ashwagandha?

Ashwagandha is probably not a power plant in your backyard. It’s not even in the produce aisle of the grocery store. This herb is mostly found as a supplement.

It’s important to understand why it’s needed and what is the value nutritionally and emotionally. Plus why to always have it on hand.

Discovering these calming benefits of ashwagandha will have you be like me and never go a day without it.

Ashwagandha comes from the pepper family and is similar to ginseng. Some people call it the “Indian ginseng.” However, it does so much more than this familiar supplement.

What’s Ashwagandha good for?

One of the reasons Ashwagandha is a trendy supplement is because so many of us live with adrenal fatigue as a result of our fast-paced ever-changing stressed lives. 

I coach numerous clients with adrenal fatigue and other metabolic disorders. We live with high levels of stress. Ashwagandha addresses these imbalances!

In fact, I have a post about the natural remedies to relieve stress where I talked about ashwagandha and two other natural herbs that help with stress relief.

First, and foremost, ashwagandha assists the adrenal glands, those glands which are so important to emotional health and coping with the stresses in life. It helps ease the impact of tension and anxiety.  It helps fill in the gaps the adrenal glands are going through, often resulting in stress.

What do the Adrenals do?

Adrenals secrete hormones which are responsible for the quick increases in the nervous system. They are also responsible for adapting to stimulus happening within us and around us.  Which is stress.

When our body is stressed the response is anxiety. Anxiety can be experienced as moods, fears, loss of interest, difficulty concentrating, frequent urination, indigestion, tension, plus so much more.

Ashwagandha brings balance to life

Ashwagandha is adaptogenic. Aren’t we having fun with big words today? This one means bringing equilibrium and homeostasis. In other words, it helps bring you back in balance.

I hope you’re noticing a theme here:

Equilibrium – our emotions are in balance. Yep, I’ll take that, please!

Homeostasis – our hormones, blood sugar and muscles are doing what they’re created for. That sounds great, too!

Balanced hormones – Who wants to get on board with this one?

I certainly did. 

Maybe you’ve experienced the ups and downs of hormones and emotions. You find yourself happy one day, highly stressed another, and plunged into a pit the next.

Daily pressures – can be physical stress such as pain, headaches, anxiety, chaos or uncertainty; anxiety happens. 

Life often has upheavals, stresses, and causes for concern, and we could all use a little extra help in staying at peace.

Adaptogens like ashwagandha are an anchor. They can hold us steady on a daily basis to calm the roller coaster of depression, stress and anxiety.

As wonderful as getting hormones and emotions balanced, that’s not all this amazing herb does.
