Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) Benefits & Uses

Ashwagandha has been used as a standard medicine in India.

Ashwagandha holds the foremost prominent place among all the Ayurvedic ‘Rasayana’ herbs. Ashwagandha powder (churna) is typically consumed by mixing it with ghee, milk, water or honey. Various studies have showed that Ashwagandha has beneficial effect on different systems of the body. It promotes a healthy reproductive balance and improves the function of overall genital system . It also improves memory and cognition by enhancing the function of the systema nervosum and brain. Ashwagandha boosts the immunity by improving the body’s defense against various diseases. Besides this, it also plays a crucial role within the management of varied diseases and disorders like DM , liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, cancer, gastric ulcers and arthritis.

Ashwagandha Use as Tonic

Ashwagandha (in sort of Churna or powder) is useful in lower dosage (500 mg) for preventing diseases by boosting system functions. It enhances non-specific immunity. It alleviates stress, increases physical stamina, and improves overall health.

Heart Diseases

Ashwagandha may be a reputed health tonic that's utilized in the treatment and management of heart diseases. Oxidative stress and increased load of free radicals increases the pressure and burden on the guts . This compromises the functioning of the guts and affects its structure too. Ashwagandha is taken into account a heart-protective antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and reduces oxidative stress. It further inhibits lipid peroxidation (degradation of lipids). Such a property of ashwagandha is like that of vitamin E . A study found that treatment with ashwagandha improved overall heart health in patients with heart diseases by increasing the guts rate, contractility and relaxation.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

A very interesting research published in 2012 evaluated the effect of ashwagandha root powder on hypertensive individuals. These individuals were treated with 2 grams of ashwagandha root powder along side water or milk. it had been reported that ashwagandha root powder with milk had a greater protective effect on high vital sign as compared to when given with water. A drop by both diastolic and systolic vital sign levels was observed. A positive link is found between stress and high vital sign . Ashwagandha reduces high vital sign levels by inducing a relaxing effect and by reducing the strain levels. Therefore, ashwagandha are often utilized in the treatment of hypertension as an adjunct with conventional agents or as a natural alternative.

Ashwagandha Side Effects

However, Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) is considerably safe for many people, but the rare and mild side effects of Ashwagandha may appear in some individual. These side effects generally occur when Ashwagandha is taken in larger doses (i.e. above 10 grams per day). Large doses of Ashwagandha may result in following side effects.

Ø    Stomach Upset

Ø    Loose Stools

Ø    Male Breast or Gynecomastia – very rare, but it's going to occur when Ashwagandha powder is employed in larger dosage (more than 10 grams per day) for several months (more than 6 months).

Withania Somnifera in natural form (Ashwagandha Churna or powder or decoction) is safer than ashwagandha extract derived through modern methods. However, water extract prepared through traditional methods by boiling water with Ashwagandha powder is additionally likely safer.
