Ashwagandha for Sexual Health and Stress

Adaptogenic herbs are a special category of herbs known to fight the physical and mental effects of stress. One of the most popular adaptogenic herbs, ashwagandha, also conveniently helps with men’s sexual health.

Ashwagandha is an ancient herb used for health and wellness. In fact, it is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda and it has many, time-tested uses. Research has shown that stressed adults who supplement with ashwagandha can show up to a 30% reduction in cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormone that fuels our body’s fight-or-flight instinct and it plays a role in everything from how our body uses carbs, fats and proteins to our sleep/wake cycles.Too much cortisol as a result of long-term stress can disrupt almost all of our body’s processes.That includes having a negative impact on men’s sexual health and sleeping patterns.
