Ashwagandha has 14 health benefits.
14. Anti-Carcinogenic
Ashwagandha has also been shown to be anti-carcinogenic. It reduces the risk of cancer and helps to prolong life.
Ashwagandha has been shown to have anti-cancer properties in numerous studies. It appears to attack the disease from many angles, presenting “multi-pronged attacks”. It has been shown, for example, to inhibit the growth of cancerous cells while also encouraging the death existing cancerous ones.
In one experiment, mice showed a reduction of 70 to 80% in tumor growth and total inhibition of metastasis (meaning cancer didn’t spread).
Research is promising but further studies are needed before Ashwagandha as a cancer treatment can be recommended. There are so many other benefits that there’s no reason not to take it.
