Ashwagandha Root Powder: Overview
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an herb used in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India. Its root has a horsey smell and is said to confer the strength and virility of a horse. Various parts of the plant are used, but the most common in supplements is an extract of its roots. Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub that grows in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Its roots and orange-red fruit have been used for hundreds of years for medicinal purposes. In Ayurvedic, Indian, and Unani medicine, ashwagandha is described as Indian ginseng. Ashwagandha is also used in traditional African medicine for a variety of ailments. The herb is considered one of the most important herbs in the Ayurvedic medicine system, a healthcare practice that started in India over 3,000 years ago.

Stress: Taking a specific ashwagandha root extract 300 mg twice daily after food for 60 days appears to improve symptoms of stress.

Reducing side effects associated with medications called antipsychotics: Antipsychotics are used to treat schizophrenia, but they can cause levels of fat and sugar in the blood to increase. Taking a specific ashwagandha extract 400 mg three times daily for one month might reduce levels of fat and sugar in the blood in people using these medications.

Anxiety: Some clinical research shows that taking ashwagandha can reduce some symptoms of anxiety or anxious mood.

Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): Some clinical research shows that a combination herbal product containing ashwagandha may improve attention and impulse control in children with ADHD.

Bipolar disorder: Taking a specific ashwagandha extract for 8 weeks might improve brain function in people being treated for bipolar disorder.

A brain condition called cerebellar ataxia: Preliminary research shows that ashwagandha in combination with an alternative form of medicine known as Ayurvedic therapy might improve balance in people with cerebellar ataxia.

Fatigue in people treated for cancer (chemotherapy): Early research suggests taking a specific ashwagandha extract 2,000 mg during chemotherapy treatment might reduce feelings of tiredness.

Diabetes: There is some evidence that ashwagandha might reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

High cholesterol: There is some evidence that ashwagandha might reduce cholesterol levels in patients with high cholesterol.

Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism): People with underactive thyroid have high blood levels of a hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). People with underactive thyroid can also have low levels of thyroid hormone. Taking ashwagandha seems to lower TSH and increase thyroid hormone levels in people with a mild form of underactive thyroid.

Male infertility: Some preliminary clinical evidence suggests that ashwagandha might improve sperm quality, but not sperm count, in infertile men.

Osteoarthritis: Early research shows that ashwagandha taken along with a zinc complex, guggul, and turmeric might improve arthritis symptoms.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): Early research shows that ashwagandha root extract might reduce symptoms of OCD when taken with prescribed medications for 6 weeks better than taking the prescribed medication alone.

Parkinson s disease: Preliminary research suggests that a combination of herbs including ashwagandha improves Parkinson s symptoms.

Rheumatoid arthritis: Early research shows that ashwagandha powder taken for 3 weeks followed by 4 weeks of sidh makardhwaj (a mixture of gold, mercury, and sulfur) slightly improves symptoms in some people with RA.
