Chronic daily stress is detrimental to both mental and physical health, impacting sleep and exhausting the body’s stress-coping mechanisms. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant in the nightshade family that has been used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine to improve the body’s resistance to mental and physical stress. (1) Its main active phytochemicals are a group of steroidal alkaloids and lactones known as withanolides. (2)

As an adaptogen, ashwagandha has an important role in natural stress relief and has been shown to improve self-reported and physiological markers commonly associated with stress. (2) In a placebo-controlled study, healthy adults suffering from mild stress took a single 240 mg dose of ashwagandha extract per day. After 60 days of supplementation, participants were found to have a 41% reduction in ratings of nervousness and a 30% (near-significant) reduction on scales of unhappiness, nervousness, and stress. Participants were also shown to have lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, compared to the placebo. (2)

Sleep helps rejuvenate the body both physically and biochemically. Ashwagandha is a recognized Rasayana (rejuvenation tonic) in Ayurvedic medicine with the ability to aid sleep. This may be related to its cortisol-lowering effects, which is important for maintaining a normal circadian rhythm. (3) A placebo-controlled trial examined the effects of daily 125 mg, 250 mg, and 500 mg doses of ashwagandha extract on stressed patients for 60 days. All doses were shown to significantly improve Hamilton anxiety scale measures of stress, including symptoms of fatigue and sleeplessness. Biochemical measures of stress, including blood levels of cortisol, fasting glucose, lipids, markers of oxidative stress, and the androgen dehydroepiandrosterone, were shown to improve in a dose-dependent manner.
