This Ancient Herb is Emerging as a Leading Herb for Anxiety & Insomnia

This ancient herb is showing impeccable timing. Though it’s been revered for over 2,500 years, it is proving to be perfect for the problems of today.

Sleepless nights and anxious days. The answer to both could be this ancient herb from India’s Ayurvedic system of medicine.

This new systematic review and meta-analysis of 5 controlled studies showed that ashwagandha is effective for people who are struggling with anxiety and/or insomnia.

The combined results from the studies found that ashwagandha significantly reduces scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Scale while it significantly improves scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Ashwagandha was effective for helping people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

This study helps solidify a fast growing body of evidence supporting the use of ashwagandha for stress, anxiety and insomnia.
