Ashwagandha origin:
Ashwagandha, known by the botanical name Withania somnifera, is a woody shrub found in India, the Middle East, and other dry and warm regions. Ashwagandha is one of the most important plants in Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional Indian medical system that originated over 3,000 years ago. Ayurvedic medicine uses a combination of herbal remedies, diet, and lifestyle to treat people’s ailments “holistically.” In many Western countries today, ashwagandha is mainly used by health food gurus as a supplement to support overall health and athletic performance. The Food and Drug Administration in the US classifies it as a “botanical dietary supplement”, which means that the quality of ashwagandha products is not monitored to the same standard as FDA-approved medications or treatments. Nonetheless, a diverse body of clinical research has investigated ashwagandha’s many properties.
One of the most intriguing hypotheses about ashwagandha is its ability to help humans adapt to stress – this is why the naturopathic community calls it an “adaptogen”. A recent article found that most human clinical trials show that supplementing with ashwagandha reduces symptoms of stress and anxiety. Researchers believe that ashwagandha accomplishes this by acting on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are located at the base of our brain, and the adrenal glands are located on top of our kidneys. These three glands communicate with each other to regulate hormones, or key signalling chemicals, in our bodies. When our bodies sense a threat or stressor, the hypothalamus acts as a command center and starts a cascade of steps to initiate a stress response. Have you ever gotten sweaty palms, a trembling voice, or found it hard to focus when nervous? The hypothalamus is in charge of sending the signals to cause these reactions!
The hypothalamus sends a chemical called corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) to the pituitary gland through a specialized network of blood vessels. CRF causes the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH) that then travels from the brain all the way down to the adrenal gland, causing it to produce cortisol. Cortisol is often called the ‘stress hormone’ because blood levels increase when taking a test, thinking about taxes, or performing in front of a crowd. The hypothesis is that ashwagandha decreases cortisol levels, possibly by targeting one of the HPA axis's components, thereby reducing the effects of stress. The quality of clinical trials supporting this hypothesis is variable. Trials may use small groups of subjects or lack randomization of participants to control and experimental groups. Looking at only the anti-stress effects of ashwagandha, it’s hard to understand why Denmark would ban this supplement. However, when some of the side effects of ashwagandha are considered, it is easier to rationalize Denmark’s decision.
