Benefits of Ashwagandha for Adrenal Fatigue!
Ashwagandha is recognized as an herbal supplement for adaptogenically boosting adrenal function. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis drives the adrenal gland to secrete more anti-stress hormone and is part of the neuroendometabolic (NEM) stress response. The NEM stress response is made up of six component responses that serve to regulate and control stress in the body. When the body is chronically stressed, the six responses may become imbalanced and result in certain symptoms, including anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, low thyroid function, salt cravings, reduced libido, etc. Ashwagandha is purported to help balance these response systems by helping to regulate mood, balance hormones, and boost the immune system.
