Ashwagandha is one of the most supportive and gentle herb remedies for the nerves. It is an adaptogenic herb, meaning that it helps our body to find balance during mental, emotional and physical stress.
Ashwagandha is known to help alleviate depression as well as anxiety. Typically from India, this herb has recently become one of my all-time favourites. It acts as a core support to the entire nervous system helping with sleep, relaxation, nerve and body pain, stress, and mood. It’s a gentle, yet strong, nourishing tonic that acts as a foundational support to the entire nervous system. For best results, it should be used consistently.
I take it in the form of a tincture, to allow rapid infusion into my system. It’s also available in capsule, whole root or powdered root form.
One of the benefits of ashwagandha is that there are no or minimal unwanted side effects when taking it, unlike anti-anxiety medications.
