Ashwagandha for blood pressure and cardiovascular health | An Easy Guide To Ashwagandha | Zooki

Research has demonstrated some very promising applications for ashwagandha and its potential to support blood pressure regulation and cardiovascular health.
Ashwagandha manages stress by modulating cortisol levels through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which indirectly impacts heart health and blood pressure. Its effect on the nervous system also helps regulate blood pressure by reducing nerve-stimulated blood vessel contractions which leads to vessel dilation and a subsequent drop in blood pressure.
As an antioxidant, it inhibits lipid peroxidation, a damaging process contributing to cardiovascular diseases.
Ashwagandha also positively influences blood lipid profiles, reducing platelet aggregation that can cause blood clots. It decreases total cholesterol and 'bad' low-density lipoprotein cholesterol while supporting 'good' high-density lipoprotein cholesterol production, which removes excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, mitigating the risk of cholesterol-related heart issues.
While promising, appropriate dosage varies depending on age, overall health, and individual cardiovascular risk factors. Consulting a healthcare provider before starting a regimen is essential due to potential interactions with other medications.
