Ashwagandha may be one of the most popular herbs today, but it isn’t a new fad.
Ashwagandha has been used in Ayurveda for centuries to boost energy levels and manage stress. As more people in the West have sought holistic remedies to find balance, ashwagandha has skyrocketed as a way to find strength amidst the pace of modern life.
We’ve been selling fresh ashwagandha spagyric tinctures at Portland farmer’s markets for almost 10 years, and over that time we’ve developed relationships with many customers. As they return week after week to buy more, they often open up and share with us how this plant has changed their lives.
Here are the top three reasons our customers take ashwagandha daily.
1. Better sleep
Good sleep is essential for health, and most adults aren’t getting nearly enough rest, or enough quality sleep. Sleep is about more than just quieting our minds – regular states of deep rest allow our bodies to repair damage, remove toxins, and regulate hormones.
Here’s what one customer said about ashwagandha’s effect on his sleep:
“Sleeping is not the problem. It’s just getting my body ready to shut down is the problem. This tincture takes me a couple of gears lower after about an hour of taking 3 dropperfuls under the tongue. The feeling is very relaxing, and you just want to lie down. I’m getting better night rest after using this supplement. Thank you and I will be back for more!!”
- Miguel
2. Stress relief
Most of our clients know that stress negatively affects the body, which is why they keep ashwagandha close.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, which means that its daily use will aid our bodies in responding to the frazzled, burnt out state that results from chronic stress. Our customers tell us that their minds are calmer and their thinking is clearer, which makes it far easier to work through the challenges of modern life.
Here’s what one customer said:
“I’ve been taking ashwagandha for a couple weeks now and have definitely noticed a difference in how I manage stressful situations. I almost got hit by a car last week. Usually that kind of thing would put an end to my day, but I found that with ashwagandha, the experience just rolled off my back.”
- Farmer’s market customer
3. Enhanced energy
We’re all here for a purpose, and our customers often tell us the many ways ashwagandha helps them excel in their endeavors.
Whether they use daily supplements of our fresh tincture to show up as more engaged parents, get an extra boost to tackle projects, or recover after a big push, our clients rely on ashwagandha to find the stamina to show up for life.
“It keeps my energy and emotions even all day.”
- Kathy
