5. Adrenal fatigue: how to combat it
Ashwagandha’s combined effects may make it more effective in combating a condition called adrenal Fatigue.
Our stress response, as mentioned above, actually leads to improved awareness, concentration, and reflexes. This is not “negative”. A strong sympathetic response also correlates with an increase in adrenaline and cortisol. This can be problematic in the long run, as it affects the brain, digestion and immune system.
