Who would benefit from this supplement?
• Those suffering from fatigue, stress, immune system
problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, recovery from illness
and auto-immune disorders.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, similar to ginseng, but
it is less heating, “yang” or simulating than Panax ginseng.
Ashwagandha is known as the “Ayurvedic” Ginseng. It is
indicated for the same types of conditions as Ginseng, but
Ashwagandha is not heating, Yang or stimulating like Ginseng
(Panax varieties). It is used preventatively for those who have
difficulty replenishing the energy they expend, and want to
avoid burn out. Burnout from unrelenting stress can take the
form of immune breakdown (colds, flu), headaches, irritable
bowel, blood sugar swings and any other genetic,
predispositional or constitutional weakness. Ashwagandha
gives additional life force or Chi to help adapt to the stresses
at hand.
It can also be used as a restorative for those who have already
burned out. Ashwagandha, as part of a rejuvenation
treatment plan is effective in chronic fatigue syndrome,
depression, debility, recovery from wasting diseases,
chemotherapy and helps while one is in emotional recovery
therapy.
Ashwagandha is also indicated specifically in autoimmune
disorders. It helps immunity to self modulate. It also has an
affinity to help chronic neuro-muscular disorders such as
fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis (MS).

“You may already be accustomed to taking echinacea at the
first sign of a cold or flu, or when people around you are
getting sick. How is astragalus different? Like echinacea,
Astragalus not only helps prevent colds and flu but shortens
the course of a bug once it has set in. Astragalus can also be
used as a long-term preventive and restorative herb, both to
prevent illness and to renew energy and vitality once an
acute illness hs passed. Scientific evidence salso suggests that
astragalus may be one of the most important herbs for
strengthening the immune system against serious diseases,
including cancer.”
(McCaleb, Robert, et al, The Encyclopedia
of Popular Herbs, The Herb Research Foundation, Prima
Health, 2000)
The indications listed for Astragalus include the
following:
• Colds and flu, chronic respiratory problems such as
bronchitis, digestive ailments, susceptibility to infectious
disease, recovery after illness, general weakness and fatigue,
cancer.
The active constituents include polysaccharides (glucans),
saponins (astragalosides), flavonoids and phytosterols, all of
which contribute to the positive actions of Astragalus. It
increases the number of stem cells in bone marrow and
lymph tissue and encourages their development into active
immune cells. It appears to help trigger immune cells from a
“resting” state into heightened activity. One study showed
Astragalus root helps promote and maintain respiratory
health. It also enhances the body’s production of
immunoglobulin and stimulates macrophages. Astragalus can
help activate T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Astragalus
stimulated NK-cell activity of human peripheral blood
lymphocytes and restored steroid-inhibited NK-cell activity in
another study.
Traditionally, many herbalists feel Astragalus is best used
when not acute. In other words, use it in between acute
episodes in order to boost immunity and avoid frequent
acute episodes. Astragalus is indicated for those who get sick
frequently, for illnesses that do not resolve in a reasonable
time, for those who get sick time after time. It is also
indicated for those using antibiotics frequently. Think of it as
an herbal flu shot, so take it before the immune season
begins, especially for the elderly, the young and the immune
suppressed.
Dosage:
20-60 drops, 2-3 times per day or as needed in juice or

ost health problems are either directly
or indirectly related to oxidative (free-
radical) damage. While vitamins and minerals
(vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium, for
example) are antioxidants, it is now
recognized that phytoantioxidants, those
derived from plants rich in a broad spectrum
of flavonoids, polyphenols, anthocyanidins,
etc are the most powerful.
In this study, 15 recreationally active people
took 900 mg of a polyphenol extract from
grape, pomegranate, and green tea, or a
placebo, just before high-intensity anaerobic
exercise. Anaerobic exercise develops short-
burst muscle strength and speed.
While there were no changes for placebo,
those taking the polyphenol extract saw a 5
percent increase in total power output,
maximum peak power improve by 3.7
percent, and an average power gain of 5
percent, without inducing fatigue or
increasing heart rate. One hour after exercise,
compared to placebo, blood pressure was
significantly lower, and antioxidant activity of
the natural enzyme, superoxide dismutase,
had improved.
Discussing the findings, doctors said there
appears to be a synergistic effect between the
natural botanical extracts of polyphenols and
caffeine in grape, pomegranate, and green
tea that may improve blood vessel elasticity,
improve performance, and aid recovery.
