Beskrivning

Ashwagandha as an Adaptogen: Stress, Neuroprotection, and Metabolic Health provides a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of Withania somnifera as one of the most widely studied herbal adaptogens in modern integrative medicine. The book examines how ashwagandha modulates the stress response, supports neuroprotection, and promotes metabolic balance by integrating traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with contemporary pharmacological and clinical research. It covers key areas including phytochemistry, molecular mechanisms such as HPA axis regulation and neurotrophic signaling, and critically evaluated clinical evidence on stress, cognitive function, and metabolic health. The volume also addresses practical considerations such as safety, toxicology, quality control, and standardization of herbal formulations. Structured to connect foundational science with clinical and translational perspectives, the book serves as a valuable resource for pharmacologists, researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals interested in evidence-based applications of adaptogenic botanicals.

Explores the phytochemistry and molecular mechanisms of ashwagandha’s adaptogenic action, including HPA axis regulation, neurotrophic signaling, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory pathways
Synthesizes and critically evaluates clinical trial evidence on ashwagandha for stress reduction, cognitive function, and metabolic health outcomes
Reviews safety profiles, toxicology, contraindications, and quality control considerations essential for the responsible clinical and commercial use of ashwagandha
Bridges traditional Ayurvedic perspectives with contemporary pharmacological and biomedical research on adaptogens
Highlights emerging translational directions and research opportunities for integrating ashwagandha into evidence-based integrative medicine and future therapeutic development
