Though Ayurvedic methods may seem 'new-age' and though they are jumping on the wellness bandwagon, ashwagandha has a good reputation in calming nerves and helping those who are anxious and stressed. This comes as no surprise to our herbal experts, such as our Head of Herbal Education, Jo Webber, who says: “ashwagandha has a long history of traditional use for helping us to cope with everyday stress and relax without feeling exhausted which could explain why it helps women achieve an orgasm/ or support women’s libido. Ashwagandha can be taken safely with contraceptive pills, which for some women can be a factor associated with low levels of sex drive.” Ashwagandha for men Whilst some of us may yet to experience the health benefits of ashwagandha, it has been used for thousands of years in India to not only manage stress-related conditions but also help with chronic fatigue, insomnia and adrenal fatigue to name a few. Ashwagandha is traditionally used as an aphrodisiac in both men and women. This makes sense as it helps support a healthy stress response.Modern research supports that women who took a dose of the plant ashwagandha every day over a month saw significant improvements in achieving orgasm and sexual arousal. Ashwagandha is also an adaptogen which, as the name suggests, means it helps us adapt to modern day stressors. What are adaptogens? There was a time where if you announced how many supplements and capsules you were taking, you were looked upon as if you had issues.

Ashwagandha and reducing anxiety: the verdict Ashwagandha supports settling into good sleeping patterns. When we’re troubled, our sleep is too. By nourishing and strengthening our nervous system, studies show ashwagandha helps us to relax before bed. Ashwagandha is grown in India and good quality organic ashwagandha is hard to come by in the Western world, though can be found in our Peace tea. Though you can take ashwagandha while on contraception, pregnant women are not advised to take this adaptogen as it may induce early labour.
Customer reviews
Ashwagandha has been well-researched in this regard with several studies supporting its effectiveness in managing the effects of stress [i],[ii]. However, this herb is unusual in that it is also a tonic, meaning it will strengthen an exhausted or agitated nervous system whilst calming it at the same time. Each of our ashwagandha capsules and teas has been expertly crafted by our in-house herbal experts and nutritionists using the highest quality organic ingredients. Ashwagandha is traditionally used to improve sexual performance and libido in both men and women. When we are stressed, we produce a lot more adrenaline and place pressure on our adrenal glands and organs. Ashwagandha regulates the amount of adrenaline produced and strengthens organs, improving stamina as well as increasing sperm count and motility in men, and improving libido in women. One study showed that women [viii] who took a daily dose of ashwagandha over a month saw significant improvements in achieving orgasm and sexual arousal due to a significant reduction in sexually related distress. Beyond decreasing the effects of stress it was suggested that ashwagandha’s role in increasing testosterone was also key as this is a factor in androgen deficiency syndrome, which in turn is also associated with female sexual dysfunction [ix]. Adaptogens help the body adapt to long-term daily stressors, reducing negative changes during times of emotional and physical stress by strengthening the endocrine and nervous systems. Ashwagandha has wonderfully strengthening and nourishing properties. As an adaptogen it helps the body to cope with the increasing everyday demands of modern life and counters the effects of stress on the body. This is because it contains active plant compounds that help restore balance and harmony. It shares many of its strengthening properties with shatavari, another celebrated rejuvenating adaptogen from the Ayurvedic tradition. A growing body of evidence is now being collated around this powerful herb with an impressive variety of health benefits. What is ashwagandha good for?
