Reduces Seizures
Seizures are from sudden electrical disturbances in your brain. Ashwagandha has been used for many years to treat convulsions. Several studies confirm that it can help with seizures and convulsions. This is done by regulating gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, receptors that can assist with seizure control. This allows GABA to bind better to the brain receptors. Results are still preliminary now and most results are from animal studies.
Improve Thyroid Hormones
The thyroid gland produces thyroxine. This is involved in nearly every bodily process like regulating body temperature and heart rate. Ashwagandha can improve this hormonal production. This has been shown with animal studies and human studies with bipolar patients. There isn’t quite enough evidence to use it for patients with thyroid disorders. Be sure to speak with your doctor before trying this.
