Today, we’re going to talk about the most powerful adaptogen in the world: ashwagandha.
An adaptogen is something that helps you cope with stress and helps your body adjust to its environment.
Ashwagandha has a lot of benefits, but we’re going to focus on how it can help you adapt to stress. Ashwagandha has helped many people feel calmer and like they can cope with stress easier.
Ashwagandha helps control the HPA axis, which is the communication between your hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenals. These hormonal communications help the body adapt to a stress response.
Once the communication is complete, the hormone is supposed to lower back down, but with chronic stress, cortisol never goes back down and is chronically elevated. Ashwagandha can help reduce these hormones.
Cortisol isn’t a bad thing. It doesn’t cause stress-it’s adapting your body to a stress state. But, it’s not healthy to have your body in a state of chronic stress and chronically elevated cortisol.
Potential benefits of ashwagandha:
• It helps lower cortisol in the AM
• It helps lower DHEA (a precursor to cortisol) in the AM
• It helps raise testosterone (stress lowers testosterone)
• It helps increase endurance
• It helps increase strength (stress may cause weakness)
• It has shown significant improvements in emotions

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand ashwagandha and why it’s the most powerful adaptogen in the world. I’ll see you in the next video.
Very well known in India. The world is slowly discovering Ayurveda (like they did with Yoga). Way to go, India!
Way to go world...
Agree! Why this doctor never gave any credit to India/Ayurveda? The hypocrisy of western doctors and medicine. I am losing respect for this doctor who I follow regularly…
@@bidyasahu The truth always shines through, friend :) Focus on your inner spiritual goals and leave the rest to God. The reason India attained such spiritual wealth through the ages is because our sages detached from the temporary in this world and chose to focus on the absolute.
And bandanas
@@bidyasahu many Indian mind science getting stripped of their origin and re-packaged as their own by Individuals eg. Relaxation response , mindfulness . But Dr Berg is mentioning the Ashwagandha as it is .
It helped me quit smoking. Non smoker for almost a year
GLOD BLESS, KEEP BELIEVING AND KEEP TRUSTING JESUS CHRIST 🙏🏽
How?
Good to hear from a Doctor who is not a puppet of the big pharmaceuticals.
It's very true
Yea lol better listen to the one that's selling products himself
what an NPC thing to say. “bIG pHaRmA is scawyyyyyy!!! yoUtUbE doCtor saY TruTh!!”

@@NN-hs3uv are good products anyway
I have been taking ashwaganda for a year and a half and I no longer suffer from panic attacks. I wish I would’ve discovered this 10 years ago when I was at my worst. I will be taking this for life.
What dose do you take and is it daily?
I heard you should take breaks from taking Ashwagandha every 3 months or else you’ll get protein in your urine.
What works even better is that God loves you! That killed the panic attacks that came against me. John 3:16
what dose do you take and is it daily? please let me know
Sandra Ramos, you need to come off after 3 months, have a break for a month before you go back on. It can really mess your liver up
I really appreciate that the good doctor does not just stick to conventional medicines & approaches to better health. He's open-minded & also does his own studies then unselfishly shares his findings.
Thanks for the nth time, Dr. Berg.
100%
Yep. COuldn't agree more. Western medicine refers to it as 'alternative medicine' (while they smug ) Dr Berg does take into account the natural remedies too instead of just the lab made synthetic compounds. Kudos to you Dr
A lost facet of medicine because most modern applications are beholden to continued salary & approval of the 3 letter agencies.
My pleasure!
@@Drberg you are the best and really are saving lives
In India we have been using Ashwagandha since ages, in root form, leaves form etc. It is the mother of all traditional medicine. If BP is high, use Ashwagandha. If stress is high use Ashwagandha. We used it without understanding the science behind it. Thank you Dr. Berg for letting us understand the science behind this plant and how it does the magic.
Most welcome! Glad you found the video useful!
How is the leaf and root used?
May I know
What dosage, that's the key and no one knows and usually the amount needed is cost prohibitive. Tired of charlatans.
Thank for for this excellent explanation. Ashwagandha has changed my life. Started taking it about 6 months ago. I have lost almost 80 lbs. I am able to handle stress so much better now. It has helped me sleep.
We don't find homeostatis word in ayurvedic literature because it's not in English and does not have Greek origin. But ayurveda clearly mentions its benefits and effects on human body. Only because of our collective amnesia we are leaving such knowledge and finding such repackaged information as great. Definitely we need more new research but the west has yet to properly acknowledge the traditional knowledge which forms the basis for such research. It's a disservice to the Indian heritage.
Other doctors are 'after collateral damage control' of the human body and Dr Eric is a 'preventive Doctor' which we need nowadays.
😂
I started using this when doctors wanted to put me on all these synthetic hormones and anti-anxiety drugs for my mood swings and anxiety. The symptoms from those drugs were terrible. So I quit them.
I also have issues where my body attacks itself (immune system attacks my nerves) when I experience high levels of stress for long periods. So ashwagandha is the best thing ever. Helps me get to sleep and quiets my brain. My dad was diagnosed with cancer recently and we almost got kicked out of our house and my brain and body is chilling with this . Haven't had a flare up since and I feel more capable of dealing with stress.
Thanks for sharing! I seem to have a similar issue with my nerves under stress. I am currently doing a lot of tests to find what it is. Do you mind sharing what is the condition you have?
First a cancer recovery story, now Ashwagandha. Been watching you for a while and glad to see you finally covering these things.
Dr. Berg gives more useful information on healing than my current “doctor”. He is way more advanced and he explains things in such a way that even a child can comprehend. I appreciate all his videos whether the specific topic is relevant to me or not. I tend to take a mental note of the info to be able to help others, if needed. Thank you Dr. Berg.
If you are healthy and well your Doctor loses his job.
Same with big Pharma
👍👍👍👍yes
I couldn’t agree more. If more doctors used the knowledge that he searches for and possess then this country would be in a better place. I left my doctor of 10 years after she said she was upset I and my family didn’t get the “Rona’jab”. She even wanted my kids of 11 and 8 to get them and wouldn’t stop pushing it. She then proceeded to say her father got it and became very ill from the vaccine, but glad he got it. We are surrounded by puppets claiming to be masters.
I know!!! I Totally Agree!!!
I'm so glad so many people are realizing the probable harm and relative uselessness of conventional "medicine" in addressing pretty much all chronic health problems. A health revolution is taking place. Screw big pharma! ;)
Wow .. everything you said can apply to me.. I was diagnosed with PtSD and I have been learning to heal and understand my life changes . And you hit the nail on the head stress.. now I'm going to focus on lower the stress and use aswaganda..thank you thank you 👀
From 6:36 till 6:47, so true as I'm going through it, seeing this video made me relax and i give myself an affirmation that it's just stress that is causing the pain and there is nothing medically wrong... Thanks you Dr.Eric for this in-depth explanation...!!!
I remember my Gran just picking this up from the yard in our ancestral home in India and making some kind of portion and giving it to my uncle. Never realized how valuable this is.
Care to elaborate on it ? Im curious as to what your uncle was dealing with and how it helped him out
@@youngmingo103 I don’t remember much but I remember him being a very volatile person and today I think Incan safely say he had bipolar disorder. When I think about him today and from what I have heard from the family grapevine, he would get very anxious and stressed out about any little issue. One common thing I have heard about him is that he is not a person who can handle pressures of life. Be it small or big. I have heard that he would worry a lot about the future and be sad and angry about his past. He was an intelligent man and this Incan attest for, but his emotional intelligence was very poor from what I gather. At that time we had a lady help in the house. She was actually adopted by our family. She did something wrong and my uncle threw boiling water on the lady and my dad jumped in and slapped my uncle. At the same time he was very caring and patient with animals. So these are the things I remember about my uncle from my childhood. They did take him to lot of doctors but one constant in the morning and probably in the evening is what I mentioned above. I don’t recall seeing any instant reaction or change but I do know he was given the portion consistently everyday.
@@andywarrier489 my man, you sound like you described me. Did it calm him down and help him in anyway and help his mood ?
@@youngmingo103oh yes, although not right away but gradually it did help him calm down a lot and that triggered a positive change in other aspects as well. The first sign we noticed of him getting better was the fact that he started taking interest in himself about he looked and esp how he looked to others. He was more polite and body language was less aggressive and more accommodating. So yeah even though slow def lot of progress and change.
I took Ashwagandha for about 2.5 years. I can honestly say that it helped me when I have been a de facto caretaker of 3 family members who had dementia. It took the edge off where I felt calm under very trying circumstance. I recently read that studies claim that it is safe to take, but that there were no known studies for long-term usage. As a result, I discontinued taking it about 2 months ago and have felt very stressed and unable to sleep at night. After seeing this video, I have decided to resume taking it again. Thanks Dr. Berg.
Long term use is not recommended, plus are these people prescribing it after purification of the drug. It has to be purified before it is powdered and used. We Ayurveda Doctors in India don't prescribe it for long periods of time.
@@nohandle23 what would you say is the most suitable amount of time to take it?Should it be cycled? If so how often?
@@beatsbythepound8999 i cannot advice u. What is the diagnosis and who has precribed it to u.....
What dose were you taking?
I used Aswagantha for about one year. I had similar thoughts and wanted to stop it. So I learnt and practicing Taichi (Yang style long form). Now I completely stopped taking Aswagantha. I had sleep disorder where I cannot sleep whole day for continous several days. This is almost resolved by Taichi. Taichi also brings many other health benefit. Learning took me around one year, practicing daily once needs 18 minutes (average)
This guy is the best! He is like a rogue doctor telling us about real medicine. I wish all doctors were like him. He is a great example that should be followed.

If it increases testosterone, then what should be the dosage for women?
Lots of love from India for expanding the knowledge of Indian Herbs to the world.
No ding Dong!.. its been used by many different people and countries thru out ages.

Great coverage of an amazing product as always, your thorough explanations are always most helpful. Thank you so much.
Began taking this a few months ago...Along with intermittent fasting, cold water therapy, eating well and breathing exercises (Wim Hof), my energy and focus have improved ten fold. 50 y/o male, former Navy rescue swimmer and SWAT operator. Hope this helps someone looking to improve thier life..."Be comfortable, being uncomfortable".
What's cold water therapy
This has been used in India in ayurveda for centuries. Good to see Dr. talking about it.
He’s talking about it but he tried to cover it up with no mention of its Vedic roots
But 99.9% people in India doesn't trust Ayurved (its ayurveda not ayurveda) and never ever has used ashwagandha
Ginseng is used in America and Korea too but yes
Online ashwagandha..are they geniune. May I buy or local shop.
@@r.studio6170 where are you located
You know I am so happy and proud of the success that your that your attaining, we need more doctors like you around.
Wish you the best and may your success continue 🙏
I have a autistic child and I am always in a high stress environment! I will definitely try this! Thx Dr Berg❤
I love it how you explain everything in normal language. You are making people aware that we are not helpless but responsible.
When my dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2017, I came across Ashwagandha. Being diagnosed with cancer is very stressful for the person as well as family members. My dad, mom and I have been taking it ever since. It's amazing. I can literally feel my stress levels coming down after I take it. I am in menapause and my cortisol levels are under control.
Thank you for the information. You are the best, Dr Berg.
Glad to be an inspiration and I'm happy you found the information useful.
Happy it has helped you all. Can you please share what brand you use? Thank you
How has it helped you with minapause?? THANKYOU
Thanks alot Dr. Eric Berg for the video regarding Ashwagangha. I request you to put some lights on Chyavanprash too. It would be very helpful for all people. Your videos are really useful to update knowledge regarding keto diet and intermittent fasting. I really appreciate you. Thanks once again.
Dr. Parag R. Wadekar why him? India is replete with books that have brilliant illustrations, thesis, explanations on Chyawanprash. In fact, why don't you bring it fore to the commoners? Good luck on it. 😊
Chyavanprash has high levels of toxic heavy metals, and it is well known that many/most Indian producers do not follow stringent exacting standards and methodology when making their products, which is the reason many of them are banned in other countries.
@@whobalobalo Am presuming Dr. Parag is not looking for validation of Chyawanprash by Dr. Berg; instead Dr. Berg's reach is well known and it can help more people. Nothing wrong with that approach.
@Priya Try Kottakkal brand. We have been taking it for 3 generations. Of course there are unscrupulous vendors out there mixing it with garbage and hence we cannot generalize Chyavanaprash is toxic. This is another propaganda by the so called WESTERN genius. Though the CDC and FDA were instituted with good intentions, it has become lobbying firms and hence I would read thru the details of their every dictum!. BTW, the same WESTERN geniuses convinced that mRNA vaccine by the WESTERN companies are 100% safe but look what happened. Still the hangover of British rulers exists with lots of Indians.
If one can read or watch tons of Dr Berg's inputs, vast majority (not saying all are) are based on "Food as medicine" concept which is commonsense (and also mentioned in Vedic literature.) Good luck.
@@itsmycontact I wanted Dr. Parag to conduct an independent research on Chyawanprash for; one being the medicinal paste which Dr. Parag will have better understanding of given his upper hand on the language expertise he may hold if he gets his hands on charaka samhita, Ashtanga Hridayam, Bhaishajya Ratnavali and many more. Second being, his explanations or inferences or analysis would be a lot more lucid, clear and crisp in comparison to Dr. Berg's because of the above reason. Thirdly, Ayurveda holds the elixir to transform a life from dead to spirited which as an Indian he should strive to bring forth to masses. Yes, indeed after all that, if he still feels Dr. Berg would be helpful then by all means this Collab would benefit us all globally.
What a great teacher Dr Berg is . I like to know the why something works so I feel more confident to try new supplement like ashwaganda .
My dad took this to help with his stress levels when my mom passed away. Seems to have worked
I had severe pneumonia a few years back. 4 rounds of antibiotics could not kick it. I finally got the infection under control but was seriously exhausted for the next 18 months. I finally found Ashwaghanda and was able to get back to normal in about 6 weeks. I took about 4 -8 tabs daily. I was in a tough place!
Could easily have been the antibiotics not the pneumonia. Flouroquinilones.
How rough?
Looking good, Dr. Berg. Thank you for another impressive teaching loaded with such practical wisdom! God bless you.
This guy is the bomb....he is right on with the benefits of ashwaganda. ....the benefits are numerous and as a recovering heart patient .....who does not take stations...or blood pressure meds ... ashwaganda has been a tremendous help ...and I cannot emphasize the word tremendous enough.....THANK YOU DR. BERG
Dr. Berg, I'm sure you realize from all your positive comments how your knowledge, calm relaxing voice and natural ability to teach have changed lives. Thank you so very much for taking the time to create these videos. Just bought the ingredients to start making the cauliflower pizza crust I watched in an earlier video of yours.
Ashwagandha, while its found on few continents around the world, its medicinal benefits were first identified in India as a part of Ayurveda (An ancient Indian medicine practice). Unfortunately this field of medicine is still not recognised in western countries where people can really benefit from this "Preventive Medicine Field". I hope Dr. Eric will make more videos on other medicines that are part of Ayurveda to bring more awareness.
He did a few.
Dr Axe is really great for "food as medicine" as well.
Hindi mai is ko kya kehtiian hain
@@animated6875 Ashwagandha hi kehte hai
Dr berg is so scared using the actual ancient medication system called "AYURVEDA" , where ashwagandha is considered and prescribed as a medicine in India.. It's a ancient Indian science dates back 3000 years ago.. And they figured out the herbs and plants and their natural qualities to cure diseases and illness.. But dr. Berg is scared to use 'ayurveda' because then people won't but his medicines and supplements and start using ayurvedic medicines..
I just bought a bottle of this stuff and it has helped tremendously. I have been trying to balance my increasing responsibilities and workload at my job along with taking some graduate classes in the evenings. I had started developing some annoying tension headaches and after a couple of days of use, I have felt relaxed after months of stress that has built up.
He said he had a good one ljnkedin the comments but I can't find it.
Did you buy the one he recommended?
I've tried Ashwagandha and it's amazing how it relaxes you and makes the whole body feel good!
Starting taking it again months ago when I start a very high stress job. It has been a life saver. Thank you for this in depth analysis.
I really thank you for taking the time to give us a full explanation of the benefits what Ashwagandha can do for us. A lot of doctors won't do that, they just point you to the pharmaceuticals. I can see you come from a caring family and with that comes abundance of joy and happyness.
@Dr.EricBergDC Hey, Doc. Great videos; I really enjoy the content, and I thank you for making this information so easily accessible to the general public. One suggestion I have is, please hold the mic closer to yourself. I do wish the volume was a big higher sometimes...
I thankfully discovered Ashwagandha about 10 years ago when I was given some samples. I use it at bedtime on the nights I can't sleep and menopause symptoms. It's my (non medical) opinion to use it PRN rather than daily so as not to build tolerance. I've noticed that I need to increase the dosage if I take it daily.
I will not be tired of saying is not only how you can explain complex topics with ease, but your continuos care for others is simply a gift from above🙏🏻
Thank you Doctor for this Ashwaganda, Cortisol and Insulin resistance correlation.
Brilliant doctor!! So informative, helpful and knowledgable.
Ashwaganda inhibits inflammatory arachidonic acid membrane pathways of Cox & Lox . Then raising thyroid manifestation....
It made me so relaxed I have been failing my university assessments, but I have been sleeping much deeper and not waking up a lot during the night.

Dear Dr Berg,
Just wanted to thank you for your genuine interest and passion in making such a huge difference in peoples lives. Very grateful for having found your channel. Thank you so much
Just want to let you know Doctor, that you are loved and respected all around the world! Thank you for the sincere efforts that you put in so selflessly for the benefit of others.
Gave me a rapid heartbeat when I first started taking it, but after a few weeks I'm alot more relaxed in general.
When modern Drs have become so corrupt and ignorant of what real health is we have to be our own Drs and find great guys like this on RUclips for solid information. Thanks Dr. Berg!
Yes exactly
Dr Berg is the Best ❤
Modern doctors are just sales reps for big pharma companies and should be held liable for any health complications or deaths that occur due to their recommendations/ pushing, especially over the past few years. Glad to see there are still good docs out there like Dr. Berg
Jon I don’t think the doctors are corrupt but the victims of brainwashing and a reward punish system that puts them in a terrible situation at best useful idiots I would say
it is a special time to be alive
I quit taking antidepressants and use this in my coffee every morning instead. It has made a huge difference for me!!!
Placebo :)
honestly DR Berg i feel like you're working on my body and at my own knowledge witch i am proud of myself also thank you for breaking everything down your heart is very good and helpful to many people facts on your videos are the best thank you
Great video. Very informative. Loved the football team analogy too. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I find this helped me years ago as well. But over time I have realized how much of my levels of stress have so much to do with how my brain is hardwired. Healthy eating is key and supplementation for a boost but it also has to go hand in hand with how you process the world and how you allow yourself to think. There is so much out there to process - more than ever before and it’s no wonder we all have such health issues with what we consume and what we mentally process
I love your videos on stress management Dr. Berg! This is so impressive! I have tremendous respect for you.
Thank you for the educational video. Are there any side negative effects to this supplement?
Nice scientific explanation of Ashwagandha (Sanskrit name meaning Ashwa=Horse and Gandha=Smell) one of the best Ayurvedic herbs from ancient India.
I’ve been using Ashwagandha (actually it’s been a while since I’ve used it) and no one ever explained it’s benefits as well as you.
Thank you so much!
I’m going to buy it right now!
It works wonders on me!
Thank you Dr. Berg. Will you do more videos explaining the affects of other herbs using research and science? You do a great job of explaining how they work.
As a person that lifts I started taking it for the cortisol and dhea reduction and the stress relief was an added bonus. HOWEVER I ran out and did have some minor withdrawals(bad night sleep, moody).
Just ordered mine directly from your website Doctor. I can’t wait to be a better person with your help. With less stress, I can hope to curb my procrastination as well. You have so much wisdom and so many videos, sometimes I want to binge it all.
You can try Brahmi and Shilajit along with that.
Brahmi helps with mental wellness
Shilajit helps with energy. Be vary of buying a recognised brand.
As an Indian, I m proud of this. More so because the legend Dr. Berg recognizes this :)
100 % true God bless Dr

Hello: Another grand delight is Amla powder or gooseberry. A gift to present one's self through nature's medicinal cabinet. Gratitude into your steps. God Bless, John German
@@cynthiacrawford6147 Absolutely. It's a one stop medicine for multiple issues.
I would like to add that Dr Berg much like most westerners didn't give credit to Ayurveda or India. Westerners are very good at rebranding things from India and taking away our credit. Unfortunately we Indians do not give importance to things until we get their approval.
You have just saved my life, Dr. Berg! I’m over 50 and started packing on the pounds no matter how much I exercised. I was starting to look fat instead of normal and I couldn’t sleep if I tried to restrict calories. I started cutting out grains and sugar and doing intermittent fasting and it works! If I’m hungry I know I can just have a normal modest serving of bacon, sausage, nuts, cheese! I have lost 10 pounds already! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Wonderful! You're very welcome!
Awesome 👏 thanks for sharing.
There you go.
@@Drberg thankyou for the good herbal medicine but can you let me know from where I can buy? It in capsules or tea?

Thank you Dr. Berg. So would you take aswagandha before exercise or would it cause relaxation that would be counterproductive? Awesome how much would you advise him to take who’s under tremendous emotional stress?
I didn’t think that whether is on the bottle recommendations may vary
Good to see you mentioning 'ashwagandha "... It has been a major part of ancient medicines in India.

I took Ashwagandha and started to wake up at 4-5 a.m and was full of energy./not drowsy And it lasted for couple months. It seems that it has different effect on some people. Im planing to get back to it (By the way I usually go to sleep around 22-23)
Fantastic video, so clear and detailed. Ashwagandha has helped me enormously.
I've been taking this for two months. I love it. Feel great
Excellent content as always! Thank you. Could you please advise if a immunosuppressed person who had a liver transplant can take Ashwaganda safely?
Hi Dr. Berg, I have been suffering from stress for quite a while now up until 3 months ago when I took the decision to walk away from what was causing me the stress, as I was living in flight and flight mode nearly all of the time. I have started to take a Vitamin D & C supplement as well as Omega 3. I am slowly starting to feel better but it's a slow journey. I also make a Berry smoothie everyday and I'm trying some Yoga but my body is still so stiff and sore from the stress. My Herbalist recommended Ashwaganda which I bought yesterday funny enough so I'm also going to take that as well as Magnesium, hope I'm doing the right thing as I'm determined to feel better and get some better quality sleep. Thank you for all the informative videos you send our way, regards Julie

Ashwagandha is a Sanskrit word meaning used in Ayurveda ancient Indian medicine ( Ayur meaning life and veda is science of knowledge)- Ashwa means horses and gandha means fragrance. The root of this herb has the fragrance of the horses also refers to horses for their strength.
Asheagandha also helps a lot with my periods, it controls the excessive bleeding plus reduces the fatigue and mood issues.
More and more The Doc is telling us the Ayurvedic way of life.
Ashwaganda, fasting, etc.
Yogic diet
Its just the muslims way to live… it has been like this for years.
@@nightmare19932009 not Muslim dude , Hindu
I noticed that too
He is correct. This is from the Indian store of knowledge. Just like Yoga and certain forms of meditative practices that have grown popular in recent years. India has always been a leader in body and spiritual wellness.
@@amaama3656 i really dont know about the practice of muslims prayers, i dont want to know anything. please dont try to convert me. i am Hindu.
I give this to my dog who has Cushing's Disease and tumors on her adrenal glads. I also give her Astragalus and Ginko Biloba. She is doing so much better than prescription drugs which only makes her anxious and has other bad side effects.
I only ever heard of giving pets vitamin c, cool to hear other things can work with them as well!
I take ashwagandha and astragalus together. Amazing
@@micheleshively8557 How are they helping u
@@JamesTheAxeThrower yes, our pets can benefit tremendously from natural substances just as us. I find a natural solution to ANY issues that arise, pets included. Google is great for finding out what you need to know specifically. I give my dogs fish oil, algae (spirulina and chlorella) and a pro/prebiotic w enzymes ATM but there's so many things that can be given to protect their health or address any health issues..just make sure to check that it's safe beforehand.
Berg and Huberman, Peterson are changing so many lives right now with their free factual information to better enhance our lives. Keep it up guys, inspirations.
I like all three of them!
I use this and I feel it working for me. Sometimes I watch my grandchildren sometimes and the supplement with other nutrients that really help me.
Ashwagandha powder was always in our houses. It is common in every household of India. I drink twice a week. Also it is available in every Indian grocery store
How much mg and only 2 days on a week? Can you take everyday?
@@lndestr1234 Add 1tsp of the powder to one & half glass water & boil for 3-4mts. Once it is cool add 1tsp lime juice & honey. Recommended twice r thrice in a week
So glad you did a video on this. I developed severe anxiety around 2020, I started working remote, caught Covid, and had a bunch of other things happen. I also developed tinnitus in my left ear that made everything twice as worse, especially working in my quiet house! I started IF and also started ashwaghanda at about the same time and they both changed my life. I didn’t want to take strong meds for my anxiety and after a few months, the fasting and ashwaghanda started to take effect and I began to feel like a normal person, I was able to sleep, and able to sit in a quiet room without going crazy. I highly recommend ashwaghanda for anyone who is struggling with anxiety
That's fantastic!
So cool! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. Will try ashwagandha for my severe anxiety, at the same time Nutrional yeast. I cannot leave house because of my severe anxiety.
I haven’t tried this yet but I’ve been taking L-Theanie for a few weeks and I’m liking it.
I've been taking Ashwagandha every morning and night for a week now, and WOOW! I can feel a HUUUGE inprovement in my abillity to cope with stress at my job (I'm a personal assistant/care taker who sometimes needs to perform CPR on my client). My anxiety levels has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY and I feel generally more calm and contented 🙂
Mom has been pestering me to take it (plus tumeric)for many years... Finally decided 2 years ago... 😁.. sooo glad I finally listened at age of 50!
P.s. I'm Indian (UK raised)
Always listen to mom…she’s knows best! 🫶🏽
"Golden milk"
Turmeric is one of the strongest antioxidants. 👍
Since people have been sharing their own experiences with it, I'll give mine. I took it for anxiety as well as trying to reduce cortisol and indirectly raise testosterone.
I learned not to take it unless I'm feeling highly anxious or stressed because if I took it on just a regular calm day I would start to feel emotionally numb.
It also increased aggression (Not to an unsafe degree) and helped me to be more assertive.
It also increased libido a bit too much for my liking.
So, I'd recommend taking it if you struggle with anxiety, stress, low libido, etc but also keeping in mind side effects and probably restrain from taking it too often and save it for days when you really need the boosts.
Did not know about the libido boost! Thank YOU ⭐
@@narcissusnarcosis614 I believe it to be an indirect benefit from the lowered cortisol. Less Cortisol the less testosterone is suppressed and thus the higher levels result in higher libido, so it depends on your situation and how your cortisol levels are messing with things. You may not get much of an effect, you could even get a more radical effect than me, as I said the boost was a bit too much for me.
What brand did you take? Please share. Ty
Which brand's ashwagandha you are using?
I'm British so there might be differences in the product compared to America idk, the ones I currently have are from an online shop called Naturelo.
I started taking this and feel like a new man it’s amazing.
That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

Have been using this herb for a while now, feel so much better more able to relax, more laid back.
I use Ashwagandha and it has changed my life. Cured my insomnia really fast, gives me incredibly detailed and long dreams, my stress levels have halved, I literally don't care about anything. I can't begin to describe how much I love it.
I would hate to not care about anything ❤
@@sheila7814Ikr 🤦🏽♂️ That right there is a bit to much right there.
@@DesmondClark-ye8eo And that statement did not make sense. If we feel nothing, then you cannot see the beauty. After a time of feeling pain, I feel the joy so much more! I have breast cancer and yes, I have been through much pain and even more pain in my life than I would ever want, but I choose to look at the beauty of life instead of stressing about everything. Long walks, exercise, a well balanced Whole Foods (organic) diet …. No sugar, white flour, or processed foods and I feel like a million dollars. I am old and feel great. I would have insomnia if I did not exercise and do when I don’t. I want to Feel Life and rejoice for every day I am given. Hugs to you all.
@@sheila7814 Obviously u missed my point
@@sheila7814 Obviously u missed my point bcuz I was actually agreeing with u🤷🏽♂️
I have an arrhythmia that pops up once in a while and I am sure it is due to stress from moving multiple times over the past few years due to work and education. To help me sleep once in a while, I have tried pot but although I sleep well with that after a while, it exacerbates my arrhythmia, I hardly ever use it because thinking about it causes me stress. Lol. Anyway, I received my ashwaganda the other day and tried just ONE caplet last night. OMG. ZERO PALPITATIONS and VERY deep sleep, not even waking in the wee hours as usual. I think I have FINALLY found the answer to stress, lack of sleep, AND my cortisol/weightloss issues! Thank you, Dr. Berg!!!
