Stress triggers adrenaline production in the body allowing you to react to the stressful situation. Heart rate, body temperature, endocrine response and anxiety all increase. Productivity increases for a short time, but fatigue and exhaustion can follow, and if the stress is prolonged, health issues can occur. Adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha can enhance one’s ability to deal with stress. They contain medicinal components that can help normalize the body’s functions during periods of mental and physical stress to rebalance and rejuvenate. Not only does it decrease stress-induced damage, but it is also safe and beneficial even at higher than normal doses. Ashwagandha is also free from adverse effects such as withdrawal and avoids impacting normal body functions more than necessary. Ashwagandha can be used safely by both males and females and also helps to rebalance hormones which are negatively impacted by high cortisol levels.
