by Fey Munoz

Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb with multiple health benefits. It is a natural adaptogen, which means it supports your body's natural ability to combat stress. Specifically, Ashwagandha is used to help reduce cortisol levels which is a stress hormone and having too much cortisol can lead to anxiety. Because Ashwagandha reliably reduces cortisol levels, it is a useful natural option that may help those experiencing stress.

Ashwagandha has been used to help fight anxiety and depression symptoms brought on by stress. Supplementing with Ashwagandha may be an easy and effective way to improve and maintain your mental health and quality of life.
