When we face stress, our nervous system, specifically the autonomic nervous system, kicks into gear. This system activates the adrenal glands, which then release adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones prepare our body for a fight-or-flight response—adrenaline increases heart rate and blood pressure, while cortisol boosts glucose levels in the bloodstream to energize us. At the same time, cortisol suppresses non-essential functions like digestion, reproduction, and the immune system. While occasional stress is a natural part of life, chronic stress can significantly impact our mental and physical health.
Ashwagandha, scientifically known as Withania somnifera, is a shrub found in India, parts of Africa, and the Mediterranean. It has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, prized for its adaptogenic qualities that help maintain balance within the body. Ashwagandha is rich in phytochemicals, particularly withanolides, which are credited for the plant's ability to combat stress effectively.
