Adaptogens are specific herbs or mushrooms which are thought to have health benefits related to supporting the body’s stress response. Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub, native to South India and long used in Ayurvedic medicine for its ability to reduce stress.
 
The Latin species name for ashwagandha is Withania somnifera. Somnifera means “sleep-inducing” and ashwagandha has been traditionally used for such purposes for hundreds of years. More recently its benefits have been confirmed through research, with studies finding that ashwagandha may help people fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer, as well as improving sleep quality. This is thought to be due to its high content of withanolides, which help the body cope with stress – with stress known to have a negative impact on sleep.
