Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a classic Ayurvedic nervous system tonifying herb, used to promote a balanced mood, memory, and restorative sleep. Scientific studies have shown ashwagandha interacts with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing the rise in cortisol seen with chronic stress. It also interacts with the body’s GABA receptors, which additionally contributes to its relaxing effects. Clinical studies have shown that these and other biological actions of ashwagandha extend beyond just supporting relaxation: this herb also has been shown to support normal, healthy thyroid and blood vessel function, normal blood glucose levels, and cholesterol levels already in the normal range.
Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum), also commonly known as tulsi, is another Ayurvedic herb with a long history of use for supporting mood and function under stress. Clinically, holy basil has been shown to support a positive mood, reducing perceived levels of stress and improving adaptability. It also acts as a nootropic, improving attention, cognitive function, memory, and reaction time. In humans, holy basil has been shown to improve the immune response, increasing the percentage of T helper cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Scientific studies have shown it also helps protect against toxicant and noise-related stresses, and balances the response of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis.
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is an adaptogen known for its ability to enhance the nonspecific resistance to stress, particularly on physical and mental planes. Clinically, rhodiola has been shown to improve endurance exercise performance, reduce lactate levels and markers of muscle damage after exhaustive exercise, and increase antioxidant capacity in trained athletes. It also has been shown to decrease psychic fatigue and perception of everyday tiredness.
