ASHWAGANDHA POWDER

Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera, winter cherry, and Indian ginseng, is a shrub that grows in India, the Middle East, and areas of Africa. Ashwagandha is a medicinal herb, also known as Indian ginseng. It is classed as an adaptogen, which means that it resists all types of stressors- be it physical, biological, and chemical.

It can reduce anxiety and stress, help fight depression, boost fertility and testosterone in men, and even boost brain function. Supplementing with ashwagandha may be an easy and effective way to improve your health and quality of life.



Health Benefits of ashwagandha 

In Ayurvedic medicine, ashwagandha is considered a Rasayana. This means that it helps maintain youth, both mentally and physically.

There is some evidence to suggest that the herb can have neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Inflammation underpins many health conditions, and reducing inflammation can protect the body against a variety of conditions.

  • stress
  • anxiety
  • fatigue
  • pain                                                    
  • skin conditions
  • diabetes
  • arthritis
  • epilepsy
Reduces blood sugar levels

Adding ashwagandha was found to increase insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity and thus lower blood sugar levels in people with and without diabetes.

Anti-carcinogenic

Many experiments have shown that ashwagandha is a potent medicine against cancer. It's been found to reduce the growth of new cancer cells and induce death in pre-existing cancer cells.
Improves heart health

It has been found to significantly reduce the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the bloodstream.
Boosts immunity

Our immunity is worn down by several factors daily and in this modern day and age, it’s often intrinsic factors, like stress, inflammation, and lack of sleep. By improving on all of those and boosting overall physical health and stamina, ashwagandha has improved our immunity significantly. It also was found to improve the activity of natural killer cells, the immune cells that fight infection.
Reduces cortisol levels and stress

Ashwagandha has been found to have an incredible effect on cortisol levels in the body in many studies. Cortisol is a stress hormone that causes all the wear and tears in the body if the body is chronically stressed, which it easily can be in modern times.

By reducing cortisol, it's been found to be significantly helpful for those suffering from chronic stress, anxiety, and even depression
Improves male fertility

Stress affects fertility the most and men with high stress have low testosterone and a low sperm count. Whether it directly affects the reproductive system or if it’s the power to bring down stress levels that cause the improvement is unknown but a strong correlation has been found between ashwagandha and improvement in testosterone production and sperm health.
Reduces inflammation

Chronic inflammation is one of the most widespread causes of diseases in our modern life. Caused by a number of things, one of its best cures is ashwagandha. It’s been found to reduce a marker of inflammation called C-reactive protein by 36 percent.
Helps in muscle building

A study trying to determine a safe amount of ashwagandha dose for people found that previously healthy people had an increase in muscle and a reduction of fat. Another study testing its strengthening claims found the same.
May improve brain function especially memory

It has always been said to improve memory in Ayurveda and human experiments have found it to improve mental performance.
 Beauty Benefits of ashwagandha 

Ashwagandha has many medicinal properties that enable it to cure various skin problems. Recently speaking, this ancient herb has been modernized due to its manifold advantages in the form of Ashwagandha body wash, Ashwagandha soap, and so on. Some more Ashwagandha benefits for skin or Indian ginseng benefits for skincare:

Anti-inflammatory

Ashwagandha has anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it beneficial for pimples. It cures skin inflammation, rashes, skin redness, and boils.

Skin stress

Ashwagandha is also considered a cosmetic substance. Keratosis is a critical skin condition that makes your skin dry and rough, causing dark spots, blackness under the eyes, and wrinkles.

Antioxidants in ashwagandha remove all problems associated with skin stress. It relaxes your skin, alleviates the bad effect of keratosis, and makes the skin soft and firm.

Reduces oil secretion

If you are troubled with oily skin, use ashwagandha instead of products containing any harsh chemicals. Ashwagandha naturally prevents the secretion of oil, due to which the problem of oily skin is reduced.

The ingredients of ashwagandha make the skin calm, clean, and oil-free, without stripping essential moisture from your skin.

Anti-aging

Feel like you are aging too quickly? Ashwagandha contains antioxidants that deal with free radicals to make you feel youthful. When it is applied topically to the skin, it soothes the skin, makes it brighter, and increases the cellular energy of the skin. It contains collagen, which is an anti-aging chemical, as well as natural oils that make your skin supple and smooth.

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a skin disease, where the color of a specific skin patch becomes darker and differs from the color of the rest of the skin. This darkening takes place when an excess amount of melanin (A color-producing pigment) sticks to the skin. It is a common skin disease that affects almost all skin types.

Ashwagandha reduces melanin production and protects the skin from pigments. It can be applied topically on the face to remove pigmentation.

Skin hydration

Use ashwagandha to get rid of dry skin. It moisturizes the skin and makes it smooth. It helps in the production of hyaluronan, which heals the rough skin and hydrates it.
