For me, it does.Like I said, anxiety has been my unwanted partner in over-thinking for alongtime.It clouded my perception of my relationships, diminished my self-worth and made everyday tasks(like working, grocery shopping orwatchingThe Real Housewives of BeverlyHills) daunting. Frankly it was exhausting, and I wasdesperate for a remedy that would make me feel chill, but notlike azombie (sorry, Xanax).
I started taking ashwagandha and在几周内我是呼吸更容易d my thought patterns were less shame-spirally (Is that a phrase? Now it is.)Fast-forward to two months in, when I was walking the aislesof Whole Foods with ease, no longer fearful thatstrangers were judging my cheese consumption.
But the true testwasmy best friend’s weddinga few weeks later. See, normallyI’d experience insomnia beforea gathering of this natureand thenbe quiet for days after, replaying the event over and picking out things I could have done better.

So much so that he evenexpressed his surpriseat howcalm and easy-going (two qualities he rarely sees me exhibit)I seemed.
