I started taking ashwagandha supplements about one year ago, and I've noticed some extremely positive changes in how I handle stress and anxiety. Before incorporating ashwagandha into my routine, daily life-related stress used to keep me up at night, and I often found myself feeling overwhelmed during the morning. Even a short trip to the market or office used to make me anxious. After a few weeks of taking ashwagandha consistently, I began to feel more grounded and less reactive to stressful situations. I noticed a subtle but definite improvement in my overall mood. The constant background anxiety seemed to have almost disappeared, and I found it easier to focus on tasks without feeling jittery or overwhelmed. Apart from that, my sleep quality has greatly improved. I usually wake up in the morning feeling fresh and hopeful. Moreover, I have become physically active and usually go for 1-hour morning walk, avoid junk food, and spend more time with family and friends.

Dr Berg! I am your admirer and follower from India.
Yes! Certain brands of Ashwagandha gives hyper energy, and we must be able to handle that energy by spending it.
Please make a video on ‘Brahmi’ herb which has equal and even more good qualities than ashwagandha.
Brahmi relieves stress, very much effective for Alzheimer’s, brain fog, ADHD, removes toxins from brain, cures insomnia, improves cognitive skills, memory, Speech, relieves stress and anxiety, so on and so forth.
The word Brahmi denotes Goddess of Wisdom-Brahmi.
All the best Dr Berg.

Ashwagandha saved me. I was angry with everyone, paranoid and anxious. My job was starting to suffer. I started taking this and within a week felt like me again. I stop and start when needed, so I don’t take it everyday. It may not work for everyone but it was a miracle for me 😊

[TECHN]

Dr Berg explains better than anyone on this planet!

[griselleisara]

I’ve been taking it for about a year. It has helped with my anxiety and menopause. I am a changed woman because of this herb. I highly recommend ❤

[RobCLynch]

Ive also heard that Ashwaghanda is a good natural glutamine inhibitor...meaning that if anybody is using prolonged fasting to starve cancer, Ashwaghanda can be used to stop glutamine dependant tumours from receiving their fuel.

I tried Ashwagandha many times over the years; every time I got really nervous & just scared of the world in general after a few days of consumption; anxiety & fear so bad I just wouldn't be able to do anything... quite crazy.
Anyways a few weeks back I finally tried the KSM-66 version of Ashwagandha extract (I've never tried this one in the past as it's usually the most expensive one, but also regarded as the gold standard for Ashwagandha extract); my experience is completely different, it's like I'm taking a completely different supplement.
Basically the KSM-66 extract gives me the benefits that Ash is supposed to give, while any other form of extract (or ground up root powder) made me nervous, anxious & just not great in general.
So I'd personally recommend to anyone to try the KSM-66 version of any quality brand :3

I've been on Ashwaghanda now for a month and I am down 10 pounds! So excited and I feel better. I was holding at 153, when my ideal weight is 128. Today when I weighed I was 143! I'm taking liquid Ashwaghanda from Global Healing.

[gormanick]

Thanks Doc! Been taking Ashwaganda with 5htp, magnesium glycinate, vitamin D - never felt better!

[bodybyjenny]

I’ve been taking it for 6 months changed my life. My anxiety is gone

[shea]

This herb also helped me with my menstrual pains ( fainting, vomiting diarrhea, bloating.. you name it). I believe it helped to balance my hormones and now my menstrual pains are wayyy more manageable. So happy I found ashwagandha.

[mewwygirl]

I have BPD and took an ashwagandha capsule. Usually, I have an underlying pressuring feeling on my chest. When I tell you it went away and now all I’m left with is an “open” feeling with no anxiety, I’m not kidding. I feel great.

Usually I am very skeptical with “supplements” but wow, this actually works just as good, if not better, than an anti-anxiety pill.

[daliaariza]

I was under stress, plus a sleep deprivation and tons of thoughts coming to mi mind right in the middle of the night until I discovered this and my life changed completely

I’ve taking it for almost 10 months and I feel incredible

[pallavitaneja]

Yes, this is superb herb very good in winter. It solves the problem of milk sugar and taking ashwagandha milk 40 mts before gives you good sleep.

[mitchellhernandez]

I was diagnosed with high cholesterol, while having these attacks/panic attacks, thinking it was the high cholesterol, but after so many tests, there was nothing wrong with me, come find out it was just anxiety/stress, trouble breathing, then I met ashwagandha, helped me relieve it, thank you.

[ZillaDaKilla]

Watching your channel has helped my health so much. Had a health scare last year (blood pressure and liver) and started watching your channel. I've lost about 35 pounds only changing my diet and watching what I eat (although I'm still not perfect)
Now I need to start exercising consistently to take full advantage of what I've leaned from you.

[adinamarin]

I took ashwagandha for stress, and it worked.. I was going through something really crazy stressful, and it was giving me a chilled mood, like I dont care anymore..but it also killed my libido, after 3 weeks. I after i stopped taking it, all the emotional thing came back so strong and i was crying for days in a row. The fix came from clean plant based diet..

[Karima-qsgq]

I am taking ashwsganda for anxiety and depression it did help me, and I feel me again. And it did help me to sleep too. Thank you very much for the information.
