Ashwagandha is a root used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. It’s an adaptogen, which is a plant that helps your body handle stress. Instead of overstimulating you, it balances your stress response.
Cortisol is your main stress hormone. You need it in small bursts to stay alert. But when it stays high, you feel anxious, tired, and unable to sleep. Long-term high cortisol also raises your risk for weight gain and burnout.
Clinical trials show Ashwagandha lowers cortisol by as much as 30%. In studies using 300–600 mg of standardized extract, participants reported:
