Ashvagandha means ‘the smell and strength of a horse’ in sanskrit, probably originating from the herb's odor and energizing benefits of its root. For over 3,000 years, the herb has been used to treat inflammation, fever, boost the immune system, improve memory and promote overall wellness.
Researchers from the university of leipzig, germany, looked at the effects of ashvagandha on the brain. The research showed that ashvagandha led to increased acetylcholine receptor activity. The scholars concluded that the increase of activity in that particular neurotransmitter could account for the enhanced cognitive ability and memory attributed to ashvagandha.
Scholars at the banaras hindu university, varanasi, india, conducted research which shows that many elements of ashvagandha have antioxidant properties. The researchers found that the herb led to an increase in three different natural antioxidants: superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. The antioxidant effect of the active principals of ashvagandha may explain the antistress, cognition-facilitating and anti-aging effects produced in clinical research.
Ashvagandha is an erect shrub covered with wooly hairs, found extensively in india and north america.
Active constituents:
the root contains steroidal compounds which include the lactones withaferin a and carbon-27-glycowithanolide, known collectively as the withanolides. The withanolides are responsible for the many medicinal applications of the herb. Ashvagandha also contains a fair amount of alkaloids including tropine, pseudotropine, isopelletrine, anaferine and saponins, which impart medicinal properties.
