Reducing stress and anxiety has never been easier
Ashwagandha, an herb that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, is becoming increasingly popular in the United States. According to the American Botanical Council’s latest report, ashwagandha was the seventh most purchased supplement in 2021, with sales increasing by 226% from the previous year, making it the fastest-growing supplement.
Dr. Megan Bradley, a urogynecologist at the University of Pittsburgh, believes that ashwagandha has some compelling research behind it. Bradley stated,
The expert believes there is good data that supports its use in managing general stress. She also added that she believes it is helpful for sleep and overall well-being.
Ashwagandha is a popular supplement known for its adaptogenic properties. It is believed to enhance the body’s capacity to cope with stress. Bradley is a regular user of ashwagandha as he finds its effects compelling.
According to a 2021 survey by the Council for Responsible Nutrition, most people take ashwagandha for overall health and wellness purposes. In a 2019 study, adults who took ashwagandha supplements reported lower cortisol levels, reduced stress, and improved sleep quality.
More than that, according to the publication Insider, it is also important that we mention the fact that a 2022 review of multiple studies found that ashwagandha is effective in reducing anxiety and stress. However, more research is needed to fully understand the herb’s potential.
In other recent news, not too long ago, we revealed the fact that a recent study conducted by Macquarie University (MC) suggests that the combination of the fear of missing out (FOMO) and excessive social media usage has resulted in an increase in anxiety among teenagers.
The study, which was published in the Australian Journal of Psychology, involved 951 participants between the ages of 12 and 16. We suggest that you check out our previous article in order to learn more about this.
