Ashwagandha is well documented as being the ultimate stress-busting , sleep-inducing botanical, why?
In today’s world where we are constantly ‘on’, always connected, expected to work hard, play hard, look great, and keep smiling throughout, it’s not unusual to feel overwhelmed. Balance is the name of the game, but when the juggle is so real, it sometimes seems somewhat unattainable. The combination of expectations unmet, pressure to excel in all areas and keep the pace, results in many of us feeling stressed, experiencing prolonged insomnia and suffering from bouts of anxiety.
The way to mitigate the daily hustle and maintain balance is through good quality sleep that nourishes the nervous system, heals the vital organs and strengthens the immune system, ready to fight another day. But how to lock that good sleep down night after night? The answer could lie in the ancient healer herb, Ashwagandha which has long been used for sleep, anxiety and the brain.
Here, we break down everything you need to know about Ashwagandha and its unique properties. Your health won’t get better by chance, it gets better with change.
So, what is ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha, also referred to as Indian Ginseng or Winter Cherry, is a member of the nightshade family of plants, and has been used for centuries by Ayurvedic practitioners to help support people’s sleep, stress and anxiety cycles. It has become more readily available over the past few years as people have begun to appreciate the myriad of benefits provided by adaptogens more widely.
Can ashwagandha improve sleep quality?
Ashwagandha, known by its Latin name *somnifera*—meaning "sleep-inducing"—has been traditionally used in various cultural practices. The leaves of the plant contain triethylene glycol, a compound often noted for its association with relaxation.
Many individuals include ashwagandha in their routines to support a balanced lifestyle and promote a calming environment at night. In sleep-support formulations, ashwagandha is combined with other ingredients to create a supplement that some users find aligns well with their nighttime routine.
