Ua hoʻohana ʻia nā aʻa a me nā mea kanu i mea lapaʻau no nā kenekulia. ʻO Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) kahi mea kanu ʻawaʻawa ʻole i loaʻa ka nānā ʻana o ka lehulehu no kona mau pono olakino he nui. ʻO kēia mea kanu, i ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka cherry hoʻoilo a i ʻole ka ginseng India, ua hoʻohana ʻia ma Ayurveda no nā haneli mau makahiki.
He ʻōnaehana lapaʻau kuʻuna ʻo Ayurveda i hoʻohana ʻia e nā ʻInia e mālama i nā maʻi like ʻole e like me ka insomnia a me ka rheumatism. Hoʻohana nā mea lapaʻau i ke aʻa ashwagandha ma ke ʻano he tonic maʻamau e hoʻonui i ka ikaika a hoʻemi i ke kaumaha.
Eia kekahi, manaʻoʻiʻo kekahi poʻe loeaʻōpala aʻa ashwagandhahiki ke kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi o Alzheimer a me kekahi ʻano maʻi kanesa.

Ma kēia ʻatikala, e nānā mākou i ʻeiwa mau pono olakino i hōʻoia ʻia o ka ashwagandha. E uhi pū mākou i nā kumuhana ʻē aʻe e like me nā pilikia kūpono o ka ashwagandha a me nā ala e lawe ai i ka ashwagandha.

ʻO Ashwagandha, i ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo Ashwagandha, he ʻano lapaʻau kuʻuna kaulana ia ma Ayurveda. Ua kapa ʻia ke aʻa Ashwagandha no kona ʻala "lio", kahi i ʻōlelo ʻia e hāʻawi i ka ikaika a me ka ikaika i ka lio o ka mea hoʻohana.
ʻO "Ashva" ma ka Sanskrit ʻo ia hoʻi "lio" a ʻo "gandhi" ʻo ia hoʻi "ʻala". Hoʻohana ʻia nā ʻāpana like ʻole o ka mea kanu Ashwagandha no nā kumu like ʻole. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo nā mea hoʻohui ashwagandha a ka hapa nui o ka poʻe e lawe ai ua loaʻa mai kona aʻa.
Hoʻonui nā Adaptogens e like me ka ashwagandha i ke kūpaʻa kūlohelohe o ke kino i ke kaumaha. Hōʻike nā haʻawina moʻomeheu rodent a me nā cell he nui nā pono olakino o ka ashwagandha. Me kēlā ʻōlelo, eia nā pono olakino ʻeiwa i hōʻoia ʻia o ka ashwagandha.
ʻO ke hiki o Ashwagandha ke hōʻemi i ka hopohopo kekahi o kona hopena i ʻike nui ʻia. ʻO ke kaumaha, me ka nānā ʻole i kona ʻano (kino, naʻau, a noʻonoʻo paha), pili pinepine ia me ka cortisol.
Hoʻokuʻu nā kelepa adrenal i ka cortisol, ka "hormone stress," i ka pane ʻana i ke kaumaha o ka naʻau a i ʻole ke kino. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i kēia ke lilo i mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻoiai ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina he nui e hiki i ke aʻa ashwagandha ke kōkua i ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka hopohopo a me nā pae kaumaha i nā mea hoʻohana.
Eia kekahi, manaʻoʻiʻo nā loea e hiki i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ashwagandha ke kōkua i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka maikaʻi o ka hiamoe o ka poʻe hoʻohana. Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike nā haʻawina ua haʻahaʻa loa ka pae o ka hormone cortisol i ka poʻe i lawe i nā mea hoʻohui ashwagandha ma mua o ka poʻe i lawe i kahi placebo.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ua manaʻo ʻia nā nui kiʻekiʻe o ka ashwagandha root extract e hōʻemi nui i nā pae cortisol serum. Ua ʻike ʻia kekahi noiʻi ua hōʻemi ka ashwagandha i nā pae kaumaha o ka poʻe komo a hoʻomaikaʻi i ko lākou ʻano ola holoʻokoʻa.
Ke hui pū ʻia me nā ʻano lāʻau ʻē aʻe, hoʻomaikaʻi nui ʻo Ashwagandha i ka maopopo o ka noʻonoʻo, ke kūpaʻa kino, ka pilina pilikanaka, a me ka ikaika.
ʻAʻole e pale ka lawe ʻana i nā mea hoʻohui ashwagandha i ka ulu ʻana o ka maʻi diabetes. Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā lākou ke kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā piʻi ʻana o ke kō koko i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka ʻai ʻana i nā mea e like me nā brownies. Hōʻike ka noiʻi mua e hiki i ka lawe ʻana i ka ashwagandha ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka kaohi ʻana i ke kō koko a hōʻemi i ka hanana o nā piʻi a me nā dips o ke kō koko.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole maopopo ke ʻano hana, hōʻike nā haʻawina holoholona e pili ana paha ka hana antioxidant o ka ashwagandha i kahi kuleana. Wahi a kekahi mau haʻawina lapaʻau liʻiliʻi, he kūpono ka mālama ʻana o ka ashwagandha i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka triglyceride a me nā pae kō koko.
Manaʻo pū nā loea e hoʻohaʻahaʻa paha ka ashwagandha i ke kō koko, e like me nā lāʻau maʻamau no ka maʻi diabetes type 2.
E hoʻohana i ka pauka ashwagandha a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​lāʻau hoʻoikaika testosterone e hoʻonui i ka ikaika a me ka wikiwiki. Wahi a ka noiʻi, hiki i ka ʻai ʻana i kēia mea kanu ke kōkua i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ikaika o nā ʻiʻo a hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka cholesterol a me ka pakeneka momona o ke kino. Eia nō naʻe, ke hana ʻia nei nā noiʻi hou aku e pili ana i nā hopena o ka ashwagandha i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka nui o nā ʻiʻo a me ka ikaika.
Manaʻo nā loea e hiki i nā waiwai anti-stress o ashwagandha ke kōkua i nā wahine me nā pilikia libido. Eia kekahi, hiki i kēia lāʻau ke kōkua i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hana moekolohe wahine ma o ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā pae androgen.
Ma ka liʻiliʻi hoʻokahi noiʻi lapaʻau e hōʻike ana e hiki i ka ashwagandha ke kōkua i nā wahine e hoʻoponopono i ka hana moekolohe. Wahi a ke aʻo ʻana, ua hōʻike nā mea komo i ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka orgasm, arousal, lubrication, a me ka ʻoluʻolu ma hope o ka lawe ʻana i ka ashwagandha.
Ua hōʻike pū ka haʻawina ua hoʻonui nui ʻo Ashwagandha i ka nui o nā pilina moekolohe ʻoluʻolu.
He mea kaulana nō hoʻi ka mea kanu ashwagandha ma muli o kona hopena maikaʻi i ka momona o ke kāne. Hōʻike nā haʻawina e hiki i ka lawe ʻana i ka ashwagandha ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka maikaʻi o ka sperm i nā kāne hānau ʻole ma o ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ke kaulike hormonal.
Eia kekahi, ma kahi noiʻi koʻikoʻi, ua ʻike ʻia ua hoʻonui ka ashwagandha i nā pae testosterone i nā kāne, akā ʻaʻole i nā wahine. ʻO kekahi noiʻi ʻē aʻe e loiloi ana i ka hopena o ka ashwagandha ma ka ikaika o nā ʻiʻo i nā kāne ua ʻike pū ʻia i ka piʻi nui ʻana o nā pae testosterone.
ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kanu ashwagandha hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻike a me ka hoʻomanaʻo. Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike kēia lau nahele i nā hopena hoʻohiki i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka pane motor e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia.
Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ashwagandha ma mua o ka placebo i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka manawa pane o nā mea hoʻohana ma nā hoʻokolohua psychomotor a me nā cognitive. Ana kēia mau hoʻokolohua i ka hiki ke hahai i nā kuhikuhi a hoʻopau i nā hana.
Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike nā haʻawina e hiki i ka lawe ʻana i ka ashwagandha ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka noʻonoʻo a me ka hoʻomanaʻo holoʻokoʻa i nā ʻano hoʻokolohua like ʻole. Manaʻo nā loea e hiki i nā kemika i loko o kēia lau nahele ke kōkua i ka hana hou ʻana i nā hunaola lolo.
Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike kēia mea kanu i ka manaʻolana no ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi o Parkinson a me ka hemahema o ka noʻonoʻo iki. Ma waho aʻe o nā pono i luna, ua hōʻike kekahi mau hōʻike ʻepekema e hiki i kēia lāʻau ke kōkua i ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻana i nā hōʻailona o nā maʻi noʻonoʻo ʻē aʻe e like me ke kaumaha a me ka maʻi bipolar.
ʻOiai ke hōʻike nei nā haʻawina he mau waiwai antidepressant paha ko ka ashwagandha, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hoʻohana iā ia ma kahi o nā antidepressants maʻamau. Inā ʻike ʻoe i nā hōʻailona o ke kaumaha, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke ʻike ʻana i kāu kauka no ka ʻōlelo aʻo a i ʻole ka lāʻau lapaʻau.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke olakino kino a me ka noʻonoʻo, kākoʻo pū kēia lāʻau i ke olakino o ka puʻuwai. Ua hōʻike ʻia ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻelua mau haʻawina e hoʻonui ana ʻo Withania somnifera i ka VO2 max. Ana nā pae VO2 max i ka nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka oxygen i ka wā hoʻoikaika kino.
Hoʻohana pū nā kānaka ʻepekema i nā pae VO2 max e ana i ke ahonui cardiorespiratory. Ana pū kēia pae i ka maikaʻi o ka hāʻawi ʻana o nā māmā a me ka puʻuwai i ka oxygen i nā ʻiʻo i ka wā hoʻoikaika kino.
No laila, ʻo kahi puʻuwai olakino e hana maikaʻi ana ma lalo o kekahi mau kūlana e loaʻa paha kahi VO2 max ma luna o ka awelika.
I kēia mau lā, hiki i nā mea kūloko e like me ka mumū, ke kaumaha mau, a me ka nele o ka hiamoe ke hoʻonāwaliwali i kāu ʻōnaehana pale. Ma ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kēia mau mea āpau a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ke olakino holoʻokoʻa a me ke ahonui, hoʻoikaika nui ʻo Ashwagandha i ko mākou pale ʻana.
Eia kekahi, hoʻolaha kēia lau nahele kahiko i ka hana o nā cell pepehi kanaka maoli. ʻO nā cell pepehi kanaka maoli nā cell pale e kuleana no ke kaua ʻana i nā maʻi.
Ua hōʻike pū ka ʻāpana Ashwagandha i nā hopena hoʻohiki i nā poʻe maʻi me ka rheumatoid arthritis. Loaʻa i ke aʻa Ashwagandha nā waiwai anti-inflammatory, e lilo ia i lāʻau lapaʻau kūpono no ka rheumatoid arthritis.
Ua hoʻomaka ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka ashwagandha ma ke ʻano he mea anti-inflammatory i nā kenekulia i hala. Hana nā loea lapaʻau Ayurvedic i kahi kāpili mai ke aʻa a hoʻopili iā ia ma ke ʻano topical e mālama i ka ʻeha a me ka mumū.
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka pauka ashwagandha me kahi lāʻau lapaʻau Ayurvedic ʻē aʻe e kōkua i ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻana i ka ʻeha hui i nā poʻe me ka rheumatoid arthritis, e like me kahi noiʻi liʻiliʻi. Ua hōʻike pū ʻia nā noiʻi hou aku e hiki i ka ʻai ʻana o ka ashwagandha ke kōkua i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i nā pae protein C-reactive (CRP).
He hōʻailona ka CRP o ka mumū e alakaʻi ai i ka maʻi puʻuwai. Eia nō naʻe, pono e hana hou ʻia ka noiʻi e hoʻomaopopo piha i nā waiwai anti-inflammatory o kēia lau nahele.
He lāʻau lapaʻau palekana ʻo Ashwagandha me nā pono olakino he nui. Hoʻoulu kēia lāʻau lapaʻau i ka hiamoe hoʻomaha, hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hana noʻonoʻo, a hōʻoluʻolu i nā hōʻailona o ke kaumaha a me ka hopohopo. Eia kekahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana i ka hopohopo me ka ashwagandha a i ʻole kekahi lāʻau lapaʻau kūlohelohe ʻē aʻe. ʻOiai ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ashwagandha he palekana, ʻaʻole no nā mea āpau kēia lāʻau lapaʻau.
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i ke aʻa ashwagandha hiki ke hoʻoulu i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole i kekahi mau hui o ka poʻe. No ka laʻana, pono e pale aku ka poʻe me nā pilikia thyroid i kēia lau nahele. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā pilikia thyroid, mai hoʻohana i kēia lau nahele me ka ʻole o ke kūkākūkā ʻana me kāu kauka.
Hoʻomaikaʻi ʻo Ashwagandha i ka hana thyroid ma ka hoʻololi ʻana iā T4 i T3. ʻO T3 ka hormone thyroid ʻoi aku ka ikaika a ʻo T4 ka hormone thyroid nāwaliwali. ʻOiai hiki i ka ashwagandha ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hana thyroid i nā pākeke olakino, hiki iā ia ke hana i ka hyperthyroidism koʻikoʻi.
ʻIke pinepine ʻia ia i nā poʻe me ka thyroid gland overactive. Ma ke ala, ʻaʻole palekana paha ka ashwagandha no nā makuahine hāpai a me nā makuahine hānai. Hiki i ka lāʻau ke hana i nā hopena ʻaoʻao i nā poʻe immunocompromised a me ka poʻe e kokoke ana e hana ʻoki.
Eia kekahi, inā he maʻi ʻoe i kekahi mau mea kanu, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e hoʻoholo ai inā palekana kēlā mea kanu. Inā pili kekahi o kēia mau kūlana iā ʻoe, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka a loea olakino paha e hoʻoholo ai inā palekana iā ʻoe ke lawe i ka ashwagandha.
Eia kekahi, ua ʻike ʻia kēia lau nahele e hoʻonāwaliwali a hoʻonui paha i nā hopena o nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe. No laila, inā ʻoe e lawe nei i ka lāʻau lapaʻau, e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomaopopo i kāu kauka ma mua o ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka ashwagandha i kāu hana maʻamau i kēlā me kēia lā. Inā ʻoe no kekahi o kēia mau hui, pono ʻoe e kūkākūkā me kāu kauka ma mua o ka lawe ʻana i kēia lau nahele.
Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe, hiki i ka lawe ʻana i ka ashwagandha ke hana i nā hopena ʻaoʻao e like me ka hiamoe, ka nausea, ka maʻi diarrhea, a me ka ʻōpū huhū. ʻO nā mea ʻē aʻe e pono e kūkākūkā me ke kauka ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ashwagandha he poʻe me nā ʻōpū ʻōpū, ka maʻi diabetes, a me ke kanesa prostate hormone-sensitive.
Waiwai ʻo Ashwagandha i nā pūhui bioactive e pili ana i nā flavonoids, alkaloids, steroid lactones, glycosides a me nā steroids. Loaʻa pū i ka mea kanu nā solanolides, kahi papa o nā steroidal lactones i manaʻo ʻia e hāʻawi i nā hopena maikaʻi o ka mea kanu.
He mea hoʻōla mumū a me ka antioxidant ikaika ka ashwagandha. ʻO kēia mau ʻano ke kuleana no ka hapa nui o kona mau hopena maikaʻi. Hiki i ka Ashwagandha ke hoʻonui i nā pae o nā enzymes antioxidant i loko o ke kino.
Hoʻokomo pū kēia me nā enzymes antioxidant e like me ka superoxide dismutase a me ka glutathione peroxidase. Eia kekahi, pale pono kēia lāʻau i ka lipid peroxidation, he pono nui ia. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hoʻopilikia ʻo Ashwagandha i ka axis hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal, kahi paha he ʻāpana o kona hopena anti-stress.
Ma muli o ka hiki i ka mea kanu ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa i nā pae cortisol, he kuleana koʻikoʻi nō hoʻi ia i ka pane ʻana o ke kino i ke kaumaha. Eia kekahi, ʻike ʻia ʻo ashwagandha e hoʻololi i ka hōʻailona o nā neurotransmitters like ʻole i hana ʻole ʻia i ka hopohopo a me nā maʻi e pili ana i ke kaumaha.
ʻO ka hopena maikaʻi o kēia lau nahele i ka hiamoe hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia i kona hiki ke hoʻoikaika i ka hōʻailona ma o nā mea loaʻa GABA. ʻO Ashwagandha, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hiki ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻonui i kou ahonui ma ka hoʻonui ʻana i kou pae hemoglobin.
He protein ka Hemoglobin i loko o nā hunaola koko ʻulaʻula (erythrocytes) e lawe ana i ka oxygen ma ke kino holoʻokoʻa. Eia nō naʻe, pono ka noiʻi hou aku e hōʻoia i kēia pono. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka pono o ka ashwagandha no ke olakino hānau hou ma muli o kona mau waiwai antioxidant a me ka hiki ke hoʻonui i ka hana testosterone.
Ua ʻoi aku ka ʻike ʻia o kēia hopena i nā kāne me ka hānau ʻole a me nā pae testosterone haʻahaʻa. Eia nō naʻe, ua hōʻike kekahi mau noiʻi mua e hiki i ka ashwagandha ke hoʻonui i nā pae testosterone i nā kāne olakino.
Loaʻa i nā hua a me nā aʻa o ka mea kanu Ashwagandha nā waiwai lapaʻau, no laila hiki ke ʻohi ʻia a ʻai ʻia.
