After a while I thought this had no effect on me, then one day (after 3 weeks of use) I thought to myself when was the last time I had that extreme exhaustion, when was the last time I had a huge mood swing, when was the last time I felt severely depressed. The answer was every single day before I started taking ashwagandha. This will not make you feel high nor will it make you the life of the party but it will level you, increase your confidence and improve your life just look at the positive reviews.
Paul Rigby hi congrats which brand did you use
Same with me. I take it with rhodiola rosea and l-theanine.
Using it too for thyroid!
congratulations !!!
Same here
God has provided so many natural herbs .
All of them in fact ;)
@Gab A ohhh stfu!
@Gab A oh really show me where because I'm very familiar with the Bible and I find the exact opposite.
but then again truth be told you are not familiar with the Bible you're just spouting things that people have said.
Yessss!! Thank you Jesus
Amen
I`ve been taking 500mg per day of Ashwagandha for just over 2 months and WOW!!!!! Anxiety and depression are gone. I now feel happy and relaxed and have a positive outlook on life. This herb has been life changing for me and i wouldn`t be without it.
Is that you in your thumbnail ? Holy smokes !!!
It gives me headaches
r u taking it with food or empty stomach?
Thank you
@@alkismakris Ive tried both - taking it on an empty stomach and with food. For me i really noticed the difference on an empty stomach. I take it 1st thing in the morning with a glass of water followed by a cup of coffee. Breakfast is about an hour later. Take Ashwagandha for 1 month and then have a 2 week break and start the cycle over again for the best effect.
@@soulerflare7 That`s me. A positive and unexpected effect is that i`m a tenth of a second a lap faster now - a significant improvement on track. My team and sponsors are happy.
This stuff is unbelievable! Gives amazing energy and has completely relieved my chronic stress and anxiety. Highly recommended!! 👍
Have you had any negative side effects?
Kindly name the brand that you use.
Dileep Kumar M I use Herbal Hills! But if you wanna buy Ashwagandha, I absolutely advise to also get Haritaki too!
How do you take it, supp or tea ...do you order or buy at local health store? Thank you♡
maremacd no, absolutely no side effects. Just really helps make you feel chilled and relaxed. 👍🏻
This video changed my life. I always feel anxious and stress for no reason at all and ashwangandha takes me off the, “fight or flight,” mode. I don’t behave like a squirrel, i’m more chill, and much happier. Thanks 🙏🏻
how u take this herb???u make tea or take capsules plz guide me i want to order it...as i am having hypothyroidism
a nice girl Hey! It did take me out of fight or flight too. Can you tell me if you did anything else to get over that fight or flight response?
nida khan I have purchased both tea ☕️ bags and capsules. Ashwangandha taste nasty to me, so I have my way to take this in.
I pound out 1 Ashwangandha capsule everyday and pour a little hot water on top of it and stir it until all the bits are gone.
I don’t like the taste of ashwaganda, so I will get 1 side of a wooden chopstick and dip it in a manuka honey and stir it in while it’s piping hot. I will mix some pure black coffee 100% Arabica coffee with a little coconut creamer for a little caffeine boost. I take 1 capsule everyday in the morning.
I have the tea but I don’t really drink it because I like the strong affect from the capsule but it is cheaper.
When i’m feeling like i’m in that fight of flight feeling, I will stop whatever I’m doing and find time alone. I use aromatherapy. I have a nostril inhaler where you put it in your nose and breathe in peppermint and all that minty stuff. I’m always losing that thing like my chapstick. With Ashwangandha, I have been less dependent on it. I bought it from Sprouts.
I also visit the beach for aromatherapy with my body feels toxic - smelling marine ocean air makes me feel healthier. I live in a very big city with the worst quality air ever. I like to clean out my lungs with the ocean air.
Ideally, I try to take it in the morning because if I don’t, I can’t do anything well. If I failed taking it in the morning, i’ll make Ashwangandha tea and run out the door with it.
I’m on day 3 and can already see the difference
It's funny how the Western world is left in the dust when it comes to amazing herbs and spices that are so beneficial.
Pharmaceutical companies making money off the unnatural poison they sell is the reason for this. I'm now learning that natural may be the way to go...
@@kevorka3281 Agreed 100%. It's all about making money, at any cost, even the health of people. Another alternative way to heal some ailments would be chiropracty.
Big Pharma wants all the money and they have serious lobbyists second only to the insurance lobbyists.
True ...we are part of nature so cure should also come from nature.
Everything is built and pushed for us to be consumers. They benefit off of our suffering.
Omg thank you so much Dr. Axe, I listened to this video and got Ashwagandha and it helped me with my pmdd symptoms, I lost 40 pounds in 8 months, I no longer suffer from depression and anxiety. My brain fog has cleared up and I've lost weight and feeling amazing!! Thank you so much, this has been the cure to all of my issues.
@meisha Robinson How long did u take it before u noticed results?
@@clarissalucas5741 it took about a week I noticed and it's very subtle because its balancing you out. You just feel good. I love it
@@clarissalucas5741 hi there within a few days. It really works, my entire family and close family and friends takes it. It's like a blessings lol calms all my anxiety and harmonal issues
Do you take everyday?
How many mg
I mix it with castor oil and put it in my scalp ... no more dry scalp. And keeps your hair healthy and beautiful
Nearly 50% people diagnosed with depression in western this remedy can be life changer for them ,, I lived there recommended this to many people ,, life is miserable in depression,,,, Ashwagandha is powerful 🌿 herb
I love you
How long you been taking It now?
I am not feeling any different. Taking 2100 mg
@@IWantMyCountryBack2 How long you been taking It?
@@frankiegunnz8066 a couple of weeks. Maybe not consistently, tho. How long should I give it?
I take Rhodiola, Ashwaghanda, and ginseng as a combination complex. I have more energy, anxiety goes and feel better. Been taking this for a few years now. Good stuff.
Hi, you say you taking ashwaganda for a few years , what happens if you stop,
did you feel any kind of Withdrawal symptoms or any feeling of addiction, thank you.
Of course no withdrawals!!! This isn't a synthetic drug but rather an herb!
Is it addicting?
Did you gain weight taking it?
What brand do you use and how long have you been using it, can you recommend it?
Wow so many foreigners talking about Indian herb which we indians have been using for thousands of years for medicine, skin and hair is awesome. So good to hear it. We Indians know best when it comes to using herbs as meds and other countries are catching upto us in the last few years or so.
Love this guy, simple, fast and great explanation without watching 20-30 minute just find out that if you need to know "more" you have to pay for it!
thanx a lot
Anton Rosik I agree
Yes
pretty sure whenever I discover a new food you already have a video about it. It's incredible
I call it magical herb.. I didn't know what it was until a few days ago, and I've only been using it for a couple of days with damiana and it's absofuckinglutely AMAZING!!! I've been suffering from mood swings and anxiety (maybe due to smoking, food we eat and other factors of life... ) That's so true, it really improved my mood, I feel less stressed and anxious and slowly happier too. It's like I'm back to my natural state. I'm just still amazed how fast that worked. Definitely worked for me and I'll keep using it✨😍🌈
What time of the day do you drink the tea?
Worked the same day I started it for anxiety 👍🏻
What’s damiana ☝️x
What are the benefits of damiana?
Would u please share the name of brand u tried for Ashwaghanda..???
Absolutely that’s what my natural doctor told me exactly what’s going on with me thank you so much for this video and I do Ashwaganda I just need to take more of it thank you so much for reminding me
one of the most reliable youtube channels 👌👍
i've just tried ashwagandha a view days ago.. and I feels like become stronger and more focus everytime I do anything, I I can sleep better..
Ashwaghanda is so great. I have been using it for 4 years for bipolar depression. It works like a moodstabiliziser and without any side effects. I also have more deep sleep on it and better memory,concentration,and reduces my ptsd symptoms like anxiety and stress.
Doctor you are my human angel.
He's more like a money making machine! LOL! Don't be such a sucker!
Dr Axe rocks....😊
He probably wouldn't have suggested murder and the consumption of flesh if that was the case.
Dodged a Bullet don't be rude simpleton you may need his knowledge someday cannot count on your own brains with the idiotic comments you make..
Yes he is because if you ask your regular doctor he would have said no because he wants you to stay sickly so you can keep coming back to him.
I started taking Aswagandha 800 mg 10 days ago daily to help lower my cortisol levels. I have had chronic stress for a long time and it put my system out of wack. I have noticed already that I am sleeping better. Thank you for the informative video.
What brand and what time of day do you take it? Thanks ☺️
@@ColetteO_ Spring Valley taken at night. Have a blessed day 🌅
Im blessed that I'm from India and use this herb 😊
So I watched another one of your videos about 2 1/2 months ago that talked about Ashwaghanda and I cannot even tell you the difference it is made in my life! Thank you!
Tried it...
Indeed it works !
Love the way western culture coming towards Ayurveda. Yoga is the most adopted thing in west. They have yet to know the power of Ayurveda. Love your explanation.
I have drinking a teaspoon of the root powder mixed with coconut milk once a day for a few weeks now. since the first day I have noticed improvement in Energy and Clarity. Excellent herb
I just started drinking a root powder organic one. I'm glad your getting results. Feeling hopeful 💕
Mofo Outdoors do you take it with warm or cold coconut milk?
Thank you letting us know
Wishing you well
@@corriealdea6953 both.
How many times a year can it be taken to treat anxiety and stress?
Wonderful! Thank you so much for your help. I can’t begin to tell you what I’ve been through. Bless God for you!
Just started drinking ashwagandha tea for 2 days. Already see improvement in stress levels, focus, and overall well-being!
I'm new to this herb and what I have noticed is reduced anxiety and stress. My cortisol is
probably too high from my caffeine addiction. I am sleeping like my 20's now. Instead of
5 to 6.5 hours I am now getting 7 to 8 hours. No more 3:30 am wake ups (cortisol spikes).
No more anxiety dreams that can wake me up feeling terrible. Fitbit says I am in the excellent range.
That sounds like a miracle plant. Thanks for the great info Doc.
I love you and your work doc...I feel an invigorating connection with you ..almost instantly....
I've been taking this for a week now and all of a sudden I feel like running instead of walking. ;) Can't wait to see what else happens over time.
DUDE I was interested in ashwagandha at first, but this has me sold now. I already avoid carbs and eat lots of healthy fats, this should be perfect.
I'm so glad I found this at a natural health food store here in Thailand.
Love you 😘
Thank you for your consistent and fantastic advice!
I use the Ashwagandha Tincture by Natures Answer works great!
Just order some on amazon, can't wait to see if it helps with low energy. Thanks Dr. Axe
Ashwaganda all the way.
It does help the brain. Ashwagandha is a life saver! Thanks, Axe. You helped.
Hi Dr. Axe
Thank you greatly for this info. I take it daily as my early morning 1st cup of tea after drinking hit water with lemon. It really jelps with my thyroid issues.
I’m 19 and started taking aswaghanda for 2weeks now , I take 1 capsule of 800mg everyday , usually in the morning before breakfast or sometimes at night before I go to sleep! Stuff is amazing, I know it’s only been 2weeks but boy do I feel a difference my ocd / anxiety has gone down by like 90%, every morning I wake up in such a good mood, I’m more relaxed and sleepy 💤, even helped regulate my menstrual cycle!!! & I feel more focused, one of the best herbs out there, I’m so glad I’ve always been into studying these natural superfoods & herbs, make sure you guys do the right dose & have a clean diet because they are really nature’s medicine!
Any updates?
Update?
Do you think morning or evening is better ?
@@cassandreaugustin6562 I think its better to take in morning before you eat , I only took it for 1 month and a half I believe , I heard its not recommended to take all year round :) But I'll be taking it again soon , its almost a yr since I last took it !
@@Jessknowsbestt why did u quit if i may ask..?
Great video. Very informative, ashwagandha is a great supplement that provides many health benefits, but remember ashwagandha interacts with several meds such as the sleeping pill Ambien. Ashwagandha has mild interactions with at least 29 different drugs. So if you take medication check first.
After watched this video I had purchased it so going to take this afternoon fingers crossed it work. My anxiety is down hill at this point
Thanks a lot Dr Josh for the great video and for the advice, information and tips. 😊👍👍👍👍
Dr. Axe, thank you for your ongoing support for us all. ❤️
Does ashwagandha work in sexual performance
I take 800 mg daily. It does wonders for me and I have thyroidism. Respect to the ashwagandha.
How many times a year can it be taken to treat anxiety and stress?
Thankyou Doc! You are always updated! God bless you!
After having watched some of your informative videos I decided to check information on Ashwagandha on your videos. The reason being you do such a thorough job in explaining information on any topic. I am so thrilled to have found you because I have learnt so much in the last few weeks. No one does it better than Dr. Josh Axe. I would highly recommend your videos to anyone that is eager to find the facts. I watch your videos knowing the content is thoroughly researched and the professional display of facts in writing. In my opinion no one does it better than Dr. Axe.
Just started talking and after 5 days noticed a improvement. Improving mood, coping better with stress without panic, and sleeping more. Thank you
👍Very helpful info thx 💞
I'm surprised big pharma hasnt banned these videos.... Godbless you Dr Axe!
I’ve used ashwaganda for a year now. I randomly leave work or carry on with my day and feel zero stress or tensions on me. I would say it’s ashwaganda
Great video! Awesome looking set ----- Thanks for all your knowledge. Whenever I have a question about my health, I turn to you FIRST....(my GP second :)).
This is helping my mother with her bipolar disorder. It helps me sleep. However, it gives us horrible diarrhea. Wish there was a way to prevent it.
Just got mine today, will update in 3 weeks.
Nice , i will introduce it in my supliment list , thanks for the informativ video
I cannot live without it. When I go off it, my anxiety is off the chain!
still taking it?
@@descai10 sure am
Do you take the capsules? And do you take it in the morning or in the afternoon?
I have some capsules coming from Himalaya and can’t wait to try! I work from home and it’s giving me anxiety so I need something to ease it for me
We’re can I buy?
Dr of natural medicine
Just bought this . Can’t wait to try it
Greetings to you, Doctor ... I have benefited a lot from you .. I am the Dental Director from the Arab Republic of Egypt ... Greetings to you
once again great info without the HYPE!
Tried it. And i agree it brings down anxiety. It makes me really calm.
Love all your videos! You are AWESOME! Always solid information!
I love these informative videos so much! Thank you Dr. Josh Axe!
Oh also my blood pressure is awesome 120/something...
I breath much calm easy breath omf I luv ashwaganda
The clean yet relaxing energy from this herb is great. I noticed when I take it in the morning, I don't need that 2nd cup of coffee. I don't even want a 2nd cup anymore. My cortisol levels are likely too high (spinal muscles so tight, adrenal adjustment felt awesome) not only is this herb reputed to bring that back into balance, drinking less coffee helps back off that fight or flight mode even more.
heymisterderp how much do you take?
What brand do you get?
Where you get it?
Me too it’s clean energy
How do you consume your herbs? Do you mix it in a tea, a smoothie or a food recipe?
Excellent video!!! Thank you so much!
I can't wait to try it! !
great video luv this this channel
Cbd and ashwaghanda ✌
Thank you so much for all your help. I feel so much better. My anxiety is gone. and I took out my stress that helped.

I like it cause it helps me relax and I can take in deeper breaths but it leaves me really tired the next couple days. 300mg is the dosage I used
Thanks Dr Axe, I love your videos and I learn a lot :)
Yay herbs!!! I found a natural "nursing school" and teaches about different herbs. My gosh I can't wait
Is it an online course? If so can you post a link?

Ashwagandha was shown to increase telomerase activity 45%
Not bad ,not bad
Telomeres
What is telomerase activity ?
@@verachambersrfh2574 They're on your chromosomes. They shorten with every cell division. It's like a finite thread that eventually runs out.

I started taking this last month, always before bed & get great, relaxing sleep. I recommend. 👍
You still taking It?
Do you still take before bed ?
I started doing the same thing. I feel so much better when I awake. I was having severe anxiety before bed but no more.
Thank you so much. I really wanted to know more about this supplement.
I think you're the herb I was searching for
This herb helped my anxiety and is good for adrenal fatigue. This herb helps balance hormones and make you more calm .It also lowered my cortisol levels. I take 1000mg a day. I use it for my adrenals and thyroid health. This herb is fantastic💕
Are you still taking it? What brand? What time of day? Thanks ☺️
I love this root. Helps with my anxiety and calms my body.
