One of the best herbal medicine for men’s infertility, stress, anxiety, and more
Ashwagandha ???:
“Ashwagandha” is a well-known name for the medicinal plant “Withania somniferathe” in India and the world thereafter.
Ashwagandha is found in a large area from the “Atlantic ocean to South East Asia and from the Mediterranean region to South Africa” (VERMA & KUMAR).
This medicinal plant is used day to day by a wide variety of traditional practitioners of medicine to treat and control various diseases and symptoms in men and women.
Ashwagandha has been recommended and used as:
- liver tonics
- anti-inflammatory agents
- Aphrodisiacs (In the Oxford dictionary, an Aphrodisiac is “a food, drink, or drug that stimulates sexual desire” or “a thing that causes excitement”).
- Astringents (In Merriam-Webster dictionary, Astringents is a “medicine for checking the discharge of mucus or serum by causing shrinkage of tissue” or “a liquid cosmetic for cleansing the skin and contracting the pores”).
In recent years this medicinal plant has been used to treat:
- natural herbal remedy for infertility and stress
- Asthma
- Bronchitis
- Insomnia
- Ulcers
- Senile Dementia (in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Snsile Dementia is “dementia of old age especially of the degenerative type associated with Alzheimer’s disease”).
- Emaciation (in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Emaciation means” to cause to lose flesh so as to become very thin”).
- Parkinson’s disease (a chronic progressive neurological disease).
- neurological and cognitive disorder
Moreover, clinical and animal studies and research proves that the therapeutic use of Ashwagandha to treat anxiety, inflammation, neurological and cognitive disorder, and Parkinson’s disease is extraordinary (VERMA & KUMAR).
Further lists of benefits for Ashwagandha highlighted by Verma and Kumar in the article titled
THERAPEUTIC USES OF WITHANIA SOMNIFERA (ASHWAGANDHA) WITH A NOTE ON WITHANOLIDES AND ITS PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS:
“Ashwagandha’s chemopreventive properties make it a potentially useful adjunct for the patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. Ashwagandha is also used therapeutically as an adaptogen for patients with nervous exhaustion, insomnia, and debility due to stress, and as an immune stimulant in patients with low white blood cell counts in the blood. The major biochemical constituents of ashwagandha root are steroidal alkaloids and steroidal lactones in a class of constituents called withanolides”
In addition, a pilot study reveals the great effect of Ashwagandha as a natural herbal remedy for infertility and stress. It enhances the quality of sperm by improving blood circulation throughout the body and eases stress and nerve discomfort and improves the overall health of the person and libido which in turn improves the quality and count of semen and sperm (Ambiye et al., 2013).
In essence, spermatogenesis (producing sperm) is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary gland which in turn:
“The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is known to be involved in stress response and controls spermatogenesis. Hence, disruption of the HPG axis on account of stress results in the failure of the testes to produce adequate levels of testosterone and a normal number of sperm. It is diagnosed by a low sperm count or low serum testosterone levels and a reduction in fertility and libido” (Ambiye et al., 2013).
