Ashwagandha, or Withania somnifera, is an herb native to Asia and Africa. Also called “Indian ginseng,” it’s been used in traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to ease pain and inflammation, treat insomnia, and boost nutrition, along with other conditions.⁠
⁠
Ashwagandha is also considered an adaptogen. That means it helps your body better manage stress. ⁠
⁠
Stress and Anxiety⁠
There are a few human studies on its stress-relieving properties. A review of five studies found the supplement helped lower stress levels. One study showed adults who took 300 milligrams of ashwagandha daily for 8 weeks had lower levels of anxiety and fatigue. In another study, adults who took 300 milligrams of ashwagandha daily for 8 weeks had less stress and fewer stress-related food cravings than adults who took a placebo (fake pill) instead.⁠
⁠
Arthritis⁠
One study found ashwagandha eased arthritis-related symptoms like pain and joint swelling in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Animal studies have shown it may soothe inflammation.⁠
⁠
Exercise Performance⁠
Another study found healthy young adults who took 500 milligrams of ashwagandha daily for 8 weeks had more speed and strength during exercise than people who took a placebo. They also breathed better, taking in more oxygen.⁠
⁠
Male Infertility⁠
One small study found infertile men who took 5 grams ofashwagandha daily for 90 days had a higher sperm count. The health of their sperm improved, too.⁠
⁠
Sleep⁠
One study in humans showed taking 300 milligrams of the herb two times a day improved sleep. Another study on animals found that the triethylene glycol in ashwagandha is what brings sleep on. But more research is needed.⁠
