What Is Magnesium?

Heard a lot about Ashwagandha lately? You’re not alone. Ashwagandha is classed as an adaptogenic herb, meaning that it has properties that help the body to adapt to stress. It is also known as Withania Somnifera or Indian ginseng. The ashwagandha plant is a small shrub with yellow flowers and small red berries containing small seeds. It is typically the root of the plant that is used medicinally, after it has been dried and processed, but the leaves are often used as well. Ashwagandha works by reducing the effect of stressors both chemically and physically by reducing cortisol levels. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the body and is predominantly involved in the fight-or-flight response, determining how people react to acute or chronic stress.
