10 Benefits of Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha Benefit #8: Gut Health
Ashwagandha significantly increases the amount of bile acid produced in the liver of rats. It also decreases circulating liver enzymes, restoring them to normal levels. This is especially beneficial with those who have compromised liver function due to diabetes or hormonal imbalances.
An enema of Ashwagandha water extract is prescribed for intestinal ulcers or irritable bowel syndrome. Water extracts have shown to restore the mucous of the lining of the gut in rats with inflammatory bowel disease. Ashwagandha can also prevent constipation and be used to treat hemorrhoids found in the lower rectum.
