Ashwagandha has 14 health benefits.
10. Heart health
In studies, Ashwagandha was shown to improve heart health. It does this by reducing bad blood. Ashwagandha is believed to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides by up to 11% in just 60 days.
This will improve blood pressure and increase blood flow. It will also reduce the risk of having a heartattack or stroke.
Ashwagandha also reduces heart attack risks by reducing stress. Stress hormones cause a variety of changes in the body including an increased heart rate. The blood pressure is then further elevated, increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
