Nature’s Detox: Ashwagandha
Our detox products contain a lot of natural ingredients but few can match ashwagandha in the oddly named herb department. Ashwaganda is better known as Indian winter berry and one of the most important herbs used by traditional herbal medicine healers. It is a shrub native to India and stands anywhere from one to five feet tall. The root is the part of the plant that is used medicinally and it is said to smell like a horse and provide the power of a horse to those who ingest it.
Ashwaganda has many uses. It can work as a pain suppressant to relieve discomfort associated with conditions such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and sciatica. It works as an anti-inflammatory agent to help reduce swelling and replenish blood supply.
Ashwaganda is important in detox products because of the benefit it provides to the immune system. It helps wounds and injuries to heal much faster and aids in fighting infection and other foreign bacteria. Foreign elements like THC metabolites can be expelled much more rapidly with the help of herbs like Ashwaganda. It is a wonderful diuretic and helps clear the urinary tract to prevent urinary tract infections. This is why it is included in detox products because ashwagandha can help flush THC and other metabolites out of the urinary tract to help you pass a drug test.
If you feel a lot of stress in your life then Ashwaganda is one herb that you will want to include in your diet. It also is believed to enhance brain function and increase energy and stamina levels. Ashwaganda is a wonderful antioxidant and will help slow down the aging process and is also believed to increase sexual prowess and endurance. It strengthens the heart muscles and keeps the heart rate normal. It also is used to treat respiratory tract infections.
