Ashwagandha – nature’s gift to humanity has lately received much attention. This magical herb has primarily been known for its stress management abilities. Little do people know that it has similar (if not better) benefits for the women out there. From balancing your hormones to alleviating hair problems, Ashwagandha has shown to help women holistically.

There are a significant number of studies done on this therapeutic herb. This blog shares the Top 5 Reasons Why More Women Need To Include Ashwagandha In Their Diets.

1. Ashwagandha Will - Help You Battle Menopause-Related Issues

Menopause can take women through severe mental and physical issues like anxiety, depression, hot flashes, and several unpleasant symptoms. Ashwagandha regulates your hormones by working on your endocrine system, alleviating these symptoms.

If you are going through Menopause (or going to enter the phase), we strongly recommend you try Ashwagandha. It will help you beat the battle!

 

2. Ashwagandha Will – Help Improve Intimacy For You

Some studies show that women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction (FSD), female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), and hypoactive sexual desire disorder can be treated with Ashwagandha. In addition, the herb improves sexual arousal, orgasm, and lubrication in healthy women.

        

 

3. Ashwagandha Will – Help You Find ‘Zen’

The inability to manage stress can make you ill – both mentally and physically. And figuratively and literally as well.

Women live stressful lives. Most women have to manage work and home simultaneously. And if you are a mother, that’s a third full-time job!

Ashwagandha can help you find that ‘Zen’ in the chaos of life. Regular usage of Ashwagandha will help you maintain good relationships, perform better at work, and organise your life.

In fact, there are animal and human studies that exhibit noteworthy anti-stress and anti-anxiety activity of Ashwagandha. You must give Ashwagandha a chance if you are a generally stressed person!

 

4. Ashwagandha Will – Help You Sleep Well

Insomnia is a fairly common condition. It is when people find it hard to sleep. This increases the amount of stress on our body and mind, which can manifest itself into unpleasant physical and mental conditions. Women with chronic insomnia are at a high risk of depression, anxiety, and many related mental disorders.

It’s just not worth it. Our body should be given the rest it needs, and there should be no negotiation when it comes to food, sleep, and exercise – the three pillars of good physical health.

News flash – Ashwagandha can help you sleep better! Ashwagandha has shown significant improvements in several aspects that impact sleep quality, such as decreased time to fall asleep and reduced sleep disturbances.

 

5. Ashwagandha Will – Make You Smarter!

Oh no, you didn’t read that wrong. Ashwagandha has proved to sharpen focus and memory. The herb has memory-enhancing properties and can help you improve your grasping power, reaction time, and overall alertness.

Ashwagandha also improves attention spans and immediate and general memory across various scenarios. The herb can awaken the genius within you by changing the way you see the world and grasp information.
