Ashwagandha: Why this Ancient Ayurvedic Root can be found in our products!
If you’re just hearing about Ashwagandha, it may sound something like a new superfood trend to you. However, on the contrary, this ancient root has been a part of Ayurveda for thousands of years as our ancestors realized its healing potential much before. As western foods and medicines have taken over in the last couple of years, we seem to have lost touch with such beautiful medicines but we are remembering its profound effects once again.
So, what is Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha is a natural root and a potent adaptogen that has been used to help people cope with occasional stress and enhance calmness. Of late, you can find Ashwagandha mainly in the form of powders, capsules and tinctures along with CBD products or hemp oil. You may also find it under it’s alternative names such as winter cherry or Indian Ginseng.
What are adaptogens and how do they help?
Adaptogens, when consumed daily in your drink or food, can act as an adaptogen. This primarily means that are experts at helping your body adapt to certain physiological and psychological situations. Cortisol or “the stress hormone” is released when your body is in a state of stress – also known as the fight or flight mode. In our modern times, the same amount of cortisol is released when you’re in a stressful meeting at work as it is when you’re being attacked by a bear. This is not an appropriate response and can have detrimental physical as well as mental effects on you. By using adaptogens like Ashwagandha, you can balance out the production of Cortisol, so you are able to keep your cool and handle the situation with ease and calmness.
CBD + Ashwagandha – The Dream Team
CBD works with the body’s homeostasis unit – the Endocannabinoid System. The ECS has receptors that bind to CBD when consumed and signals to your body, helping maintain basic brain and body functions. CBD is known to promote feelings of wellbeing and calm, delivering you into a positive mood. So along with Ashwagandha, it can be a potent relaxant and a natural one at that.
