History

Ashwagandha is found in the Mellow Moon Mylk evening blend. An herb commonly used in Ayurveda, a traditional healing system from India, it is native to Asia, Africa, and Europe.

For more than 6,000 years, ashwagandha has been used by Ayurvedic practitioners to treat a myriad of health issues and to promote longevity. Its benefits are said to be both physical and mental.

Considered an adaptogen, a natural substance that helps the body adapt to stress, it supports immunity and decreases cortisol levels.

Specific Benefits

StriveLife utilizes ashwagandha to help destress, promote a sense of well being, calming, physical and mental relaxation for rest. Mellow Moon Mylk is formulated specifically to aid your body and mind in recovering during sleep.

Ashwagandha, in combination with the other adaptogen-rich organic superfoods, aids in deep sleep including REM and lucid dreams. Together they support cellular repair and recovery during sleep.

Various studies have also tied ashwagandha to:

Better cognitive abilities
Enhanced exercise performance including improved muscle strength, lessened muscle fatigue, and reduced muscle soreness
Reduced blood sugar levels
Improved arthritis symptoms
Reduced stress and anxiety
Improved heart health

Clearly, there is a reason why so many cultures have been turning to ashwagandha for thousands of years.
