Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an Indian herb traditionally used against anxiety, for neuronal support and to help fight the onset of a variety of degenerative processes. It contains chemicals that help inhibit inflammation and help with blood pressure already within the normal range. It can also support the immune system and research suggests that it is useful for brain health. The constituents called withanolides seem to have an ability to restore presynapses and postsynapses, in addition to both axons and dendrites in cortical neurons after induced injury. Studies indicate that this herb is safe and very well tolerated.*
