Benefits of Ashwagandha Tea
-
Beats stress
Adaptogens are used to combat stress. Adaptogen helps in reducing stress-induced damage and effectively decreasing withdrawal symptoms in people who suffer from anxiety and depression. A study revealed that ashwagandha is a significant contributor in reducing stress, and it seemed to reduce anxiety and stress by 72%, compared to its alternatives. -
Improves physical fitness
Recent studies have shown that ashwagandha is effective in keeping physical fitness intact. Men in strength training who used it, saw a considerable increase in muscle size. Muscle strength also improved with time. Daily intake also reduced the overall body fat percentage. -
Aids in reducing blood sugar levels
Ashwagandha decreases blood glucose levels and triglycerides (commonly found fatty substances in the blood). Since it reduces blood sugar, ashwagandha might help patients with type 2 diabetes (this condition occurs when blood glucose is not utilised effectively). -
Boosts fertility
This herb also promotes the secretion of testosterone and improves sperm count in men. Women with sexual dysfunctions, too, have benefitted, as it accelerates the reproductive hormone levels in both men and women. -
Sharpens memory
Ashwagandha's health benefits also include improved memory and focus. It helps achieve a longer attention span and boosts the brain's cognitive and motor responses. -
Helps boost immunity
It also regulates immunity by decreasing fatigue and boosting stamina. It fights against the inflammatory response, resulting in damaged tissue bodies due to bacteria and other foreign body infections. -
Enhances sleep
The Latin word 'somnifera' means 'inducing sleep'. Triethylene glycol, an active component in ashwagandha leaves, helps treat insomnia and other sleep disorders. -
Improves overall fitness
Regular intake of ashwagandha resulted in enhanced oxygen consumption, especially during intense physical activities. Since heart and lung functioning in athletes is vital, they can take it every day.
