Regulating Menstrual Cycle
Ashwagandha has the ability to regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle as well as helping to improve menopause. A 2019 research study suggests that it can help influence the endocrine system by impacting mood, stress responses and reproduction. Studies have shown it can help balance a woman’s reproductive hormones.
Sexual Function
Ashwagandha has shown that it can help reduce cortisol levels and the result from this is reduction in elevated stress. There was a 2023 research study that shows that Ashwagandha can positively improve sexual function in women. That study revealed that Ashwagandha significantly increased lubrication, orgasm, and sexual orgasm scores.
In those studies women took 300 milligrams of Ashwagandha root extract twice daily for 8 weeks. Studies have shown that the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of Ashwagandha properties can help treat irregular vaginal discharge and uterine infections.
Menopause
A 2021 research study showed that women that took 300 mg of Ashwagandha root extract daily for 8 weeks improved their quality of life associated with menopause. All these women in this study were in the perimenopause phase.
The Bottom Line is Ashwagandha has a lot of positive health benefits for women such as regulating menstrual cycle, balancing hormone levels, reducing PMS symptoms, improving sexual function, etc.
