If I could give 10 stars I would. If you have MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES PLEASE READ. I've never left a review on Amazon & I order a lot. I struggle with Bipolar 2 and my main symptoms are severe anxiety, social and internal. I also suffer from severe bouts of depression, exhaustion and irregular sleep. I am 37. My symptoms were present my entire life, but began wreaking havoc on my life in my mid twenties. I was diagnosed when I was 27, and between 27-29 I felt like I was lost and trying every treatment combination available, but nothing really helped until I moved home and took care of my grandmother for a couple years. I became grounded again, got a great job traveling and was exercising a lot and eating right. I was symptom free for several years with only very small episodes of depression and a few panic attacks. I was on little to no medication.A few years into the job I relocated to a place I hated and work became more stressful. I always felt like I was fighting to hide my illness. Too stubborn to see a psychiatrist, I sought counseling, are well abdcsaw a GP when I needed to. I became more and more exhausted. Going straight to bed after work, brain fog, dizzy, anxiety ridden to the point of light paranoia. I started a new job with a lot of pressure in an even worse location. I did well at first, but the job required too much and in order to get everything done that was piled on me, I was working 60-80 hour weeks regularly. My house was a mess, my car was a mess, I looked old and I was coming unraveled.I took two months off to recover and in that time discovered ashwagandha. I started taking two capsules a day in the morning. I truly believe I have an adrenal issue because almost immediately, a sense of calm came over me. My thoughts are clear and positive. I haven't had anxiety like I did before. I get out in public and think happy thoughts and enjoy life instead of having the dreaded anxiety attack. I don't feel tired all day or after work. I'm focused at work at methodical. If I have a problem I acknowledge it and find a solution, and I move on. If I disappointed someone when I was not well, I forgive myself and move on. My house is clean, I am calm and love myself. I don't stay in bed all weekend but I don't rush around either. I do one thing at a time and even have the contentment of someone that whistles while they work.Bottom line, ashwagandha is changing my life. Other things I've done: cut out all alcohol. Eating while foods (most of the time). One sofa a week. One cheat meal a week (junk food). I just restarted lamictal last week because I want to stabilize my mood in this place. I also take isagenix essentials vitamins with product b, gotu kola and sometime choline and uridine. I drink more hot tea and when my mind is still, instead of thinking racing thoughts I consciously say I love you in my mind over and over. I established a routine during the week. I do the same thing every morning in the same time. I love ashwagandha and whether you think you have adrenal fatigue, depression, stress, anxiety or bipolar I truly believe this is something you must try to reach optimum health. God bless. Read more

A 60+ man who did some painting in our house surprised us when he revealed his age. He looked to be in his 40's. He went on to tell us about the natural teas, herbs, and supplements he's been taking for years, and he suggested that Ashwagandha might help my 80-year-old husband and me (78) with our memories. That result is still to be determined after taking the product for a few months--but these pills definitely relax us and help us fall asleep within minutes of turning off the lights at night.

I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and I always struggled with meds due to their hideous side effects. I do quite a bit of research and stumbled onto this herb. While everyone is different - I will note its immediate benefits. Within a day or so, the anxiety no longer exists. My moods and sense of well being are both GREAT. I struggle with sleep, and though this does not keep me out all night, I will say that I sleep deeper simply based on how I feel each day. Additionally, its dramatically improved my focus and concentration. The list of benefits from this are numerous. I believe this is a herb that we all should be on. This is the first one that I would make such a statement. Read more

I purchased Pure Ashwagandha Root for the first time, and I must say, it is an extremely great product. I suffer with adrenal fatique, and anxiety and this product really gives me a sense of calmness, and I sleep a lot better at night. My energy levels increased as well. I'm not sure why the price jumped from $14.88 to $25.97, however, I will be trying to find another brand to take because I definitely can't afford to pay $26 for it. Read more

This worked well, until I ran out! While taking it, I slept great, my moods were stable, and my anxiety was under control. I've been out for about four days and my anxiety is becoming extremely difficult to control, I haven't slept well the past two nights, and I'm constantly agitated. Stopping this had been the only thing that's changed in a while, so I can only attribute my returning depression symptoms to not having this in my system anymore. Wow, didn't realize how well this adaptogen worked until it wasn't there anymore! Read more

I tired this after hearing about it through Dr. Axe. It does seem like it help with relaxation. I have gone through about 120 capsules now and have put it on subscription with Amazon. I have been taking it (2 capsules) in the evening along with herbal tea 'Serene Slumber' and Boswellia Serrata. The tea which I drink 1/2 of, also contains Skullcap (S. laterifolia) which is also helpful. If I wake up in the middle of the night (a guy thing), I will drink the second half of the tea. Since I have been using this combination, I generally have a restful sleep in spite of all the aging aches and pains. Read more

My co-worker recommended and she's a researcher so, took the Ashwagandha plunge! So far, so good! Recently went off all of my pharmaceuticals and am opting for a holistic supplement approach to depression & anxiety! Coming out of a brain fog and while I'm on just my 2bd bottle, this is the best stuff out there! By far! Read more

I love this product. I bought it because it's supposed to reduce your cortisol level. It works. I've been taking this for a month now. I face my day with calm and am able to better focus on the bigger picture instead of letting the little things bother me. I had no idea how much work and life really got to me until I realized that it didn't anymore. I own my own business and have started buying this for my employees. Read more
