Chronic daily stress is detrimental to both mental and physical health, impacting sleep and exhausting the body’s stress-coping mechanisms. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant in the nightshade family that has been used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine to improve the body’s resistance to mental and physical stress. Its main active phytochemicals are a group of steroidal alkaloids and lactones known as withanolides.
As an adaptogen, ashwagandha has an important role in natural stress relief and has been shown to improve self-reported and physiological markers commonly associated with stress. Sleep helps rejuvenate the body both physically and biochemically. Ashwagandha is a recognized Rasayana (rejuvenation tonic) in Ayurvedic medicine with the ability to aid sleep. This may be related to its cortisol-lowering effects, which is important for maintaining a normal circadian rhythm.
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is traditionally used in herbal medicine to temporarily relieve symptoms of stress, such as mental fatigue and feelings of weakness. It is one of the best-known adaptogens available, with studies supporting its ability to strengthen the body against chemical, biological, and physical stressors. Because chronic stress interferes with memory and mental well-being, rhodiola can be used to enhance cognitive function, such as mental focus and stamina. It also provides antioxidants.
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is traditionally used in herbal medicine to help relieve nervousness (calmative) and promote sleep. Its mild sleep-inducing effects are considered non-habit forming and do not have a negative impact on sleep structure.
Quercetin, an antioxidant bioflavonoid found in fruits and vegetables, has been shown to improve the body’s antioxidant status. Piperine is the main active component of black pepper and is recognized for enhancing the bioavailability of quercetin.
