Ashwagandha | Bulk Herb | Stress & Adrenal Support

HOW TO USE

Earthy, slightly bitter, and unmistakably grounding, organic ashwagandha is a caffeine-free bulk herb made for your daily ritual. 2oz brews approximately 10 to 15 cups of herbal decoction.

Simmer one teaspoon in 8oz of water or warm milk for 15 to 20 minutes for a traditional Ayurvedic decoction. Ashwagandha's active compounds extract better with a small amount of fat, which is why the traditional preparation, known as ashwagandha golden milk, simmers it in warm whole milk with honey and a pinch of cardamom. You can also add ashwagandha powder to smoothies or adaptogen lattes.

ABOUT THIS HERB

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): dried cut ashwagandha root, rich in compounds associated with its adaptogenic support. Several clinical studies have explored ashwagandha supplementation for stress, with researchers reporting reductions in self-reported stress scores and changes in cortisol levels in some trials, though study sizes are generally small and results vary. NCCIH and other research bodies describe ashwagandha as a promising but still emerging area of study.

Important: Ashwagandha may influence thyroid hormone levels and is not recommended for people with hyperthyroidism or autoimmune thyroid conditions without healthcare provider guidance. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you take thyroid or sedative medication.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does ashwagandha lower cortisol?
Several small clinical trials have measured cortisol changes in people taking ashwagandha supplements over 8 to 12 weeks, with some reporting meaningful reductions. Researchers caution that study sizes are small and results aren't uniform across all trials. Most people who notice a difference describe it as a gradual shift in their response to stress rather than an immediate effect.

Can males take ashwagandha for testosterone?
Some small studies have explored ashwagandha's relationship to testosterone and reproductive markers in men, with a few showing modest changes. The research base is still developing, and ashwagandha does not work the way exogenous testosterone does, it's traditionally understood to support the body's broader hormonal balance rather than directly raising any single hormone.

Is ashwagandha safe for the thyroid?
Ashwagandha may influence thyroid hormone levels, and there have been case reports of thyroid changes with regular use. If you have hyperthyroidism, an autoimmune thyroid condition, or take thyroid medication, please consult your healthcare provider before adding ashwagandha to your routine.

How long does it take for ashwagandha to work?
Most of the available research uses ashwagandha consistently for 8 to 12 weeks before measuring outcomes. It's generally considered a cumulative, daily-use adaptogen rather than something with an immediate effect, similar to how many wellness herbs work over time rather than in a single dose.

Is ashwagandha safe during pregnancy?
Ashwagandha is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to limited safety data and its traditional use affecting hormonal activity. Please consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing.
