An Overview of Winter Cherry
Winter Cherry, or Ashwagandha Root, is among the most prominent herbal preparations used in Ayurveda, a holistic system of medicine originating from India. The root of this small, evergreen shrub is primarily recognized for its adaptogenic properties. An adaptogen is a physiological agent that naturally increases the body’s resistance to physical and emotional stress.
Practitioners of Ayurveda traditionally prescribe Winter Cherry to promote gentle relaxation and emotional balance. In clinical study, Winter Cherry has been shown to provide positive support for:
- Focus, attention span, concentration, memory, mental sharpness and other healthy cognitive functions
- Mental or physical fatigue caused by emotional stress
- Depressed mood and mild to moderate mood changes caused by everyday stress
- Occasional nervousness, nervous tension and anxiety
- Healthy immune system function
Research has shown that Winter Cherry is a safe, natural sedative that produces the most noticeable benefits following extended periods use (two to six weeks).
