Ashwagandha: The Ayurvedic Rejuvenator

by VITROMED HEALTHCARE 29 Nov 2021

Withania somnifera is commonly also known as Ashwagandha. It is an evergreen shrub that grows in India, the Middle East and parts of Africa. It is also known as Indian Ginseng, poison gooseberry or winter cherry. The root of this orange-red fruit is used as ayurvedic medicine. Ashwagandha got its name from the smell of its root. The root smells like a horse and so its name is Ashwagandha, Ashwa meaning horse and gandha meaning smell. It plays an important role in increasing the count of white blood cells and fighter cells that fight diseases.

 Ashwagandha is used as an ayurvedic medicine because it has many health benefits. Some health benefits of Ashwagandha are as follows:

  1.  Helps in reducing blood sugar levels:

Ashwagandha has proven to reduce blood sugar levels in both healthy people and diabetic patients. Studies prove that taking ashwagandha increases the secretion of insulin in the blood and makes your muscle cells more insulin sensitive. Multiple studies have proved this fact and so including Ashwagandha in your daily diet helps lower your blood sugar levels.

  1. Can be a cure for cancer:

Laboratory tests have found a component in Ashwagandha called withaferin. Withaferin helps induce apoptosis which is programmed to fight cancer cells. It does that by promoting the growth of reactive oxygen species inside the cancer cells which disrupt their functioning. Animal tests have shown that ashwagandha can help treat several types of cancer like breast, brain, lung, colon and ovarian cancer. Though no results prove that ashwagandha has similar effects on humans, tests are going on to prove that.

  1. Helps lower cortisol levels:

Cortisol is a hormone that is responsible for stress. In other words, cortisol is also known as the stress hormone. It is also released in the body when our blood sugar levels get too low. Unfortunately, some people have high cortisol levels which result in high blood sugar levels and increased fat. Studies show that Ashwagandha helps in the reduction of cortisol levels and therefore reduces stress.

  1. Helps with anxiety and stress:

We’ve already seen that Ashwagandha helps in reducing stress levels. Studies show that it also helps fight stress causing anxiety. A lot of people who suffer from anxiety due to stress were seen with reduced anxiety after taking Ashwagandha.

  1. Can help reduce symptoms of depression:

Ashwagandha can also help in reducing the symptoms of depression. Tests already prove that it lowers the cortisol levels in the blood that is the stress-causing hormone. Reduced stress levels help with reduced anxiety and can also help decrease the symptoms of depression.

  1. Boosts testosterone levels and increases fertility in men:

Ashwagandha has proved to increase testosterone levels in men and thereby increase fertility. It also increases the antioxidant levels in the blood. It significantly boosts sperm quality and fertility in men.

  1. Helps in increasing muscle mass and strength:

Ashwagandha is said to help increase muscle mass, improve body composition thereby increasing strength. It helps in greater gains in muscles, strength and size.
