10 Benefits of Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha Benefit #6: Women’s Health
In one study, Ashwagandha was one of the components of an Ayurvedic supplement and showed significant relief for patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Ashwagandha has also proved to treat amenorrhea, which is when a woman goes an abnormal period of time without menstruating. Using the herb long-term has shown to improve uterine fibroids that develop in the walls of the uterus. Some studies suggest that it is also effective in managing menopausal symptoms and stimulating hormone secretion.
It has also been used in the treatment of infertility. Ashwagandha has been known to help restore male reproductive health. It can balance hormones and improve fertility by promoting relaxation and decreasing stress. It increases the luteinizing hormone towards normal in males who are infertile and increases testosterone as well. It improves the function of the thyroid gland, which helps with hormone regulation.
