• Adaptogen, good for adrenal glands, low thyroid, lowers cortisol levels, and balances hormones. Energizes the central nervous system, good for brain cell degeneration, learning memory and reaction time.

 

How to use? Ingest 1-2 full droppers, once a day. ​You decide when it would be the best time to ingest the medicine. Rules: Put 2 full droppers in a small cup, add 1.5 tablespoons of water. ​(That will dilute the strength a little) Then let it sit in your mouth, under your tongue for 20 seconds, then swallow. This way it enters your blood stream immediately. Please do not eat or drink, anything except water for 20-30 minutes before and after you ingest the medicine.

Aids in producing body’s own thyroid hormones. Stimulates underactive thyroid, stimulates thyroid gland secretion, and secretion of thyroid hormone. Also helps with, hypothyroidism.
Animal studies show that in large doses in mice, Ashwagandha directly increases the thyroid hormone T4.  By balancing cortisol rhythm and suppressing elevated cortisol, Ashwagandha likely prevents the conversion of T4 to Reverse T3, an inactive form of thyroid hormone caused by excessive stress.

Ashwagandha has also been proven effective in supporting adrenal function helping you overcome adrenal fatigue and chronic stress. Your adrenal glands are endocrine glands that are responsible for releasing hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) in response to stress on your body.
If your adrenals are overtaxed due to an overabundance of emotional, physical and mental stress, it can lead to a condition known as adrenal fatigue.
