Ashwagandha, an ancient Ayurvedic herb, is gaining fame for its stress and anxiety reduction abilities.
Dr. Meena Makhijani, a specialist in integrative medicine, highlights ashwagandha’s long-standing use in traditional Indian medicine.
Today, ashwagandha is available beyond traditional forms like teas and powders, including capsules and gummies. Prices for these supplements range from $20 to $30 for 30 days.
While known for stress management, inflammation reduction, and reproductive health benefits, ashwagandha’s safety and side effects, like stomach irritation and rarely, vomiting, are concerns.
Studies and expert views support ashwagandha’s effectiveness in stress and anxiety reduction.
