Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha
Research shows that ashwagandha may be useful in supporting adrenal function and helping overcome adrenal fatigue. Your adrenals are endocrine glands that are responsible for releasing hormones, specifically cortisol and adrenaline, in response to stress.
If your adrenals are overtaxed due to an overabundance of emotional, physical or mental stress, this can lead to a condition referred to as adrenal fatigue.
When your adrenals become exhausted, this can disrupt other hormones in your body including progesterone, which can cause infertility and lower levels of DHEA, a hormone that’s tied to longevity and maintaining a strong body.
There have been over 200 studies on Ashwagandha benefits, including the herbs ability to:
- Improve thyroid function
