8. Depression

There is some evidence that ashwagandha may help ease the symptoms of depression. One study found that adults who took ashwagandha experienced a 79% reduction in symptoms of depression, while the group who took a placebo reported a 10% increase in depressive symptoms.

Ashwagandha is well-known for its stress-reducing capabilities, as well as its ability to help ease anxiety, which often occurs alongside depression.
