An important part of ayurvedic healing, Ashwagandha benefits include stress reduction, neural protection as well as anti aging protection against various degenerative conditions.
This ancient herb hails from India where it has been in popular use for a long time. The plant is also found in parts of North America and is also a popular component of Chinese traditional medicine. Also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, the plant’s roots contain many potent ingredients that assist in adapting the body to stress.
Primarily regarded as an adaptogen, ashwagandha benefits centre on simultaneously strengthening resistance to stress as well as improving energy levels. Comparable to many contemporary anti-depressants and tranquilizers the herb is a natural alternative to these harsh medications.
Shown to relieve restlessness, its regular use seems to have an anti anxiety effect which is helpful in improving the mood. The herb’s calming symptoms also appear to ease depression. Likewise, it can act as a sedative and assist in sleeping better. In fact, ashwagandha is considered as a natural remedy for insomnia by many herbalists.
Other Ashwagandha benefits include the herb’s ability to assist the immune system’s performance in recovering from an illness. It has demonstrated its ability to ward off cold and cough symptoms and is recognized for providing nourishment to bones. As such, some evidence goes to show that the root may be helpful in providing protection against inflammation and cartilage damage associated with arthritis and is a common ingredient in joint pain remedies.
More Ashwagandha benefits of this potent herb include its possible role it inhibiting the growth of certain kinds of cancers. Research has determined its potential to abate cancer cell growth without affecting normal healthy cells.
For diabetics, it has also been observed to normalize blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
Ashwagandha is considered an herb that promotes rejuvenation and supports performance. This is why it can be found in natural formulas created to enhance libido and sex drive.
Although no significant Ashwagandha side effects have been observed, some people who have taken this herb at night have reported feelings of nervousness and difficulty to sleep — quite the opposite to what it’s supposed to do.
In any event, as with any herbal supplement, it is recommended to take it with breaks in between periods of use, and pay close attention to your very own way to respond to it.
Long term use of the supplement may cause toxicity but further studies are needed to establish this theory. Other conditions associated with a large dose may include gastrointestinal disturbances like an upset stomach, diarrhea or vomiting.
One point to watch out for while considering Ashwagandha supplements is medication contraindication. The herbal supplement, if taken with other medications may interfere with the effects of other medicines. Therefore it is important to inform your health care practitioner before using any herbal medicine. Moreover, since the herb tends to calm the nervous system, it is best to stop its use prior to a surgical appointment. Continued use could enhance its effect of any anesthesia that is administered.
While its sedative properties can have a calming effect in the nerves, Ashwagandha side effects can also cause drowsiness. With first time users this is a common complaint and although symptoms get better with consistent use, it is recommended to take the supplement on a full stomach.
As a word of caution, even though Ashwagandha benefits outweigh its side effects, the herbal supplement is strictly not recommended for expectant or nursing mothers.
People exhibiting the symptoms of thyroid problems should refrain too from taking this herb until they have been properly diagnosed. Ashwagandha has been used to treat hypothyroidism with great success but it is best to be taken under professional care.

“I have always thought I wasn’t normal and had some kind of hormone imbalance. The doctors always said there was nothing wrong. With Thanda Passion Booster, sex maybe 3 times a year has turned into 2 to 3 times a week and has saved my relationship. Thanks.”

“I tried Thanda Passion Booster and my boyfriend took Ikawe for Men because we wanted to see whether it was true that it could increase your sex drive. Since then we can’t keep our hands off each other!! Sex was good before, but now it is ten times better!! I think I will still be taking these products for many years. We definitely are two very satisfied customers! ”
-Zita, USA
“I took Accutane for my acne and only midway through did I find out it had been shown to decrease your libido. My boyfriend and I had previously had a very active sex life, and it became less and less frequent. I just didn’t have a drive anymore. I tried another product, Hot Plants, which worked initially but eventually stopped working. I happened upon this website, saw the guarantee, and thought, what the heck, I’ll try it. Boy am I happy I did! We now have sex at least 4-5 times a week! I feel the same way I used to. Thank you Thanda!”
-Courtney, CA, USA
“My husband and I have been married for 6 years. After my second child I just went right off sex. Most of the time I was just too tired, but it also seemed as though that part of me was gone forever. I can tell you that my husband was starting to get fed up with all the excuses! He bought me these Thanda Passion Booster capsules and I took them. To be honest, I was just taking them to make him feel happy but I did not think that they could make a difference. Was I wrong! Now my husband jokes and says that it is his turn to be tired! ”
-Sarah, USA
“I thought that I was just one of those women who could not have an orgasm. Sex was OK at first, but most of the time I would rather curl up with a good book! Do you know that I used to fake orgasms just so that my fiancee could feel good? I know it was wrong, but I felt like I was not good enough. My friend told me about your Thanda Passion Booster libido capsules and I decided to give them a try. Sex is getting better and better all the time. I have been taking the capsules for three weeks and there is a definite difference. No more faking for me! ”
