Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha Root

Ashwagandha Root Helps Mental Well-Being

Ashwagandha Root by Gaia Herbs is an adaptogenic, immune-supportive dietary supplement.

For thousands of years, the positive effects of ashwagandha have been observed and studied. The largest benefit has always been seen in its ability to target the brain. It specifically targets the adrenal gland, which is responsible for releasing cortisol into the bloodstream.

Cortisol is a stress hormone, and its release can cause a variety of stress responses. By lowering the amount of cortisol, ashwagandha enhances the body’s resilience to stressful situations, causing a cascade of positive effects including more relaxation and better immune response.

Ashwagandha Root Benefits:

• Provides Stress Response Support: Ashwagandha root is known as an adaptogen, which means it contains a chemical that can help calm the brain and reduce stress. By targeting the central nervous system, it can reduce mental stress. It also targets the heart and lungs, to slow heart rate and breathing to bring a physical calm as well. Together, a whole-body reduction in the stress response allows for feeling more at ease.
• Supports Immune Function: Constant high levels of cortisol in the bloodstream can negatively impact immune response. If cortisol is in the system for long periods of time, the immune system has the ability to become resistant to the cortisol, weakening the immune system and making it easier to get sick. Ashwagandha can decrease the amount of cortisol in the blood, allowing the immune system to respond appropriately.
• Helps Fight Fatigue: With its whole-body calming effects, ashwagandha allows for rest to come easier. Once rest is achieved, it allows the body you stay at rest and reach REM sleep more easily. These combined effects allow for more rest and less feelings of fatigue.

Ashwagandha Root by Gaia Herbs is best known for its ability to target the stress response, allowing for the ability to get to a better resting state, and more feelings of calm and relaxation. It may have the additional benefit of helping maintain a healthy immune system and sleep regulation.
