Ashwagandha is one of the most popular Ayurvedic herbs, known for its adaptogenic properties — that is, it helps the body adapt to stress, be it physical, mental or emotional.It contains active compounds called withanolides, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.
Studies have shown that it can reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels, improve sleep quality, support fertility, increase muscle mass and physical performance, and support cognitive function. In the context of intermittent fasting, ashwagandha can help reduce oxidative stress and maintain a stable energy level, preventing fatigue and supporting hormonal balance. However, it is not recommended in pregnancy, breastfeeding or people with thyroid disorders without medical consultation.
