A Brief Introduction to Winter Cherry

Winter Cherry, also called Ashwagandha Root, is among the most prominent herbal preparations used in Ayurveda, a holistic system of medicine originating from India. The root of this small, evergreen shrub is primarily recognized for its adaptogenic properties. An adaptogen is a physiological agent that naturally increases the body’s resistance to physical and emotional stress.

Practitioners of Ayurveda traditionally prescribe Winter Cherry to promote gentle relaxation and emotional balance. In clinical study, Winter Cherry has been shown to provide positive support for:

Focus, attention span, concentration, memory, mental sharpness and other healthy cognitive functions
Mental or physical fatigue caused by emotional stress
Depressed mood and mild to moderate mood changes caused by everyday stress
Occasional nervousness, nervous tension and anxiety
Healthy immune system function

Research shows that Winter Cherry is a safe, natural sedative that produces the most noticeable benefits following 2 to 6 weeks of daily use.

How Winter Cherry is Thought to Work

Modern research has categorized several groups of phytochemical components that are thought to contribute to the pharmacological activity of Winter Cherry:

Withanolides
Alkaloids
Sitoindosides

Studies indicate that the mechanism of action of Withaferin-A, a primary Withanolide in Winter Cherry, is to stimulate the Acetylcholine neurotransmitter pathways in the brain. This effect is thought to enhance memory and other healthy cognitive processes. Scientists have yet to identify the specific functions that support immune system function and other regulatory body systems. It is believed that all active glycowithanolides derived from the plant work synergistically to alleviate occasional nervousness, nervous tension, anxiety, and a depressed mood and mild to moderate mood changes caused by everyday stress. Winter Cherry has been identified in clinical analysis as an adaptogen that increases the body’s resistance to a wide range of chemical, biological, and physical stressors. Scientists explain that Winter Cherry likely affects multiple body systems to promote emotional well-being, physical endurance, and mental sharpness.
