1. Ashwagandha:
Originally from India, Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) is a little woody shrub. Its roots and berries get used for making a well-known Ayurvedic medicine. It is an adaptogen, which means it can help your body cope with stress more effectively. Cortisol is a hormone that your adrenal glands create in response to stress, and studies have shown that ashwagandha lowers cortisol levels.

According to research, Triphala may lessen arthritic inflammation and prevent or slow the spread of several cancers. Furthermore, Triphala is also beneficial for improved digestion and oral health.
