ASHWAGANDHA FOR DEPRESSION, THYROID, ASTHMA.

Ashwagandha is a medical plant, root and berry are used to make medicine. I just recently started using this herb for my thyroid and bi polar (an "affective disorder of bi polar," meaning IT MAYBE is brought on by an allergy to iodine in shell fish in anything in the sea, allergic reaction to food or some drugs). This herb will also help the iodine problem so its perfect for me. Since iodine is a problem in the larger fish this is the herb to use if allergic to fish.
Ashwagandha worked so well for my thyroid and calming me down that I investigate further to see if it was my imagination.

It adds to more sexual desires

I had not heard of it and wondered why this was missing out of the herbs I've studied.
I had heard it was great for thyroid and polar depressions, electrical system of the body and blood pressure. Researching it I found it was for many of my other ailments such as in arthritis, anxiety, trouble sleeping (insomnia), tumors, tuberculosis, asthma bronchitis, backache, fibromyalgia, female and menstrual problems, chronic liver diseases. For me it is God sent. It stops my anxiety immediately. I also have used Kava Kava at night and love Bach's Rescue products, such as pastilles i.e. for sleep and stress. This product may take their place. We will see.

Ashwagandha is also used as an “adaptogen” to help the body cope with daily stress, and as a general tonic. It may take the place of Celebrex (arthritis) which raised my blood pressure and other problems. (I can't take this product it not good on the heart too.

Some people also use ashwagandha for improving thinking ability, decreasing pain and swelling (inflammation), and preventing the effects of aging.

 It is also used for fertility problems in men and women and also to increase sexual desire. I notice it gets me up mentally (lg. doses depending on your needs and problems) Maybe a night or some may need on does durning the day. Try it out different time or, vary the dosage accordingly.

Ashwagandha is applied to the skin for treating wounds, backache, and one-sided paralysis (hemiplegia).

In Ayurvedic, Indian, and Unani medicine, Ashwagandha is described as “Indian ginseng.” Ashwagandha is also used in traditional African medicine for a variety of ailments.

• Tumors.
• Tuberculosis.

• Swelling (inflammation).

• Stress.
• Inducing vomiting.
