Due to the lack of suitable equipment for diagnosing and treating many reasons for infertility as well as likely long-term diagnosis processes, many people in developing nations prefer to use complementary and alternative medicine. One of the main techniques employed in this area is herbal medicine. Ashwagandha has been shown to enhance reproductive system performance in a variety of ways. Due to improved semen quality, which is thought to be caused by increased enzymatic activity in seminal plasma and a decline in oxidative stress, its extract lowered infertility in male participants. Additionally, WS extract enhanced the equilibrium of luteinizing hormone and follicular stimulating hormone.

Estrogen and progesterone, two reproductive hormones, are essential for healthy fertility. Ashwagandha aids in boosting hormones related to reproduction. Prolactin levels are reduced by estrogen in the body, which is especially beneficial for women with hyperprolactinemia (a condition in which the pituitary gland generates excessive prolactin). Regulation of female hormones

The ability of ashwagandha to lessen stress contributes to the support of women's reproductive systems. The regulation of female hormones can be significantly influenced by stress. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can lower progesterone levels and have a negative impact on healthy menstrual cycles and fertility. Ashwagandha benefits the reproductive system, libido, and menstrual periods by lowering cortisol levels, increasing blood production and flow, and reducing body stress.

Eggs health

Anyone wishing to or needing to affect egg quality should promote egg health by maintaining a healthy whole-food diet and a clean lifestyle, using herbs, nutritional supplements, and natural therapies, and supporting healthy immunological and stress responses. The highest chance of influencing the DNA you pass on to your future child is through doing this.

Ashwagandha's (Withania somnifera) function in treating male infertility

Ashwagandha roots taken orally have been shown to reduce lipid peroxidation, enhance sperm quantity and motility, and control levels of reproductive hormones. However, the molecular processes underlying these effects have not yet been identified.

Sperm count & sperm quality

In a 2010 study, 75 healthy, fertile males and 75 men undergoing infertility screening were compared. Treatment with Ashwagandha reduced oxidative stress, boosted testosterone levels, and enhanced sperm motility and count.

Male fertility has been demonstrated to suffer when under stress. The production of testosterone and LH, which are essential for sperm growth, may be adversely affected by chronic stress. In a similar vein, numerous studies have indicated that ashwagandha may be quite effective at reducing stress.

Participants with a history of chronic stress who took 600 mg of Ashwagandha daily for 8 weeks saw a drop in serum cortisol levels of 27.9% in a double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled research. 

Increases Haemoglobin and red blood cells (RBC)

Haemoglobin and red blood cells (RBC) were both raised by ashwagandha. The increase in RBC improves the athletes' aerobic capacity by increasing the blood's ability to carry oxygen directly to the working muscles. These results point to a potential mechanism for how Ashwagandha root extract produces ergogenic effects.

Helps with weight loss

Ashwagandha has been found in studies to be effective in assisting chronically stressed adults in reducing body fat and increasing muscular mass. It may be because ashwagandha has stress-relieving and cortisol-balancing properties; cortisol is known to cause you to hang onto fat reserves, especially in the belly area. Stress reduction can help with weight loss and enhance overall body composition.
