Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng, is an evergreen shrub found in India, the Middle East and parts of Africa. It is mostly used in the form of a supplement and has been shown to help reduce stress, anxiety, and improve brain function. Ashwagandha is classified as an adaptogen, a natural substance that helps the body cope with stress. Some of the benefits that come from ingesting ashwagandha include boosted energy levels, anxiety treatment, enhanced focus, and reduced stress.
