Pelosi Threatens To Disenfranchise Iowa Voters With Contested Race – The Federalist

Posted: March 16, 2021 at 2:57 am

Failed Democratic congressional candidate Rita Hart is pushing onward with a challenge to her lost election last fall to freshman Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks who was sat in the lower chamber in January. Miller-Meeks was certified the winner by state election officials by six votes.

Hart, however, bypassed state avenues for challenging elections and instead appealed her case directly to the House of Representatives, which may determine its own membership. House Democrats on the Administration Committee greenlit a probe into the Iowa contest Wednesday.

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who chose in December to seat Miller-Meeks despite the ongoing challenge launched by Hart, threatened theres still a chance the House would overturn the Iowa result to add one more Democrat to a razor-thin majority. Pelosi currently presides over the slimmest majority of her congressional career with a nine-vote advantage over House Republicans.

Could you see a scenario, depending on what they find in their probe, of unseating of the current member and seating Rita Hart if it came to that? Fox News Chad Pergram pressed Pelosi at a Thursday press conference.

Could you see a scenario? We dont do press conferences on can you see a scenario. Of course! Pelosi said, repeating herself, of course!

I respect the committee Well see where that takes us. There could also be a scenario to that extent, the House speaker continued.

On Fox News Special Report Friday, Miller-Meeks railed the Democrats desperate decision to consider Harts challenge after the election re-examined by Iowa election officials was declared in the Republicans favor.

There is no doubt in my mind, and there is no doubt in the bipartisan executive council who has certified me the winner. So it was not only the secretary of state, it was a bipartisan executive council, Miller-Meeks said of the results in the contested race. Iowa law is what determines what our election process is, how the ballots are included, and all of that was done. What my opponent wants to do is to violate Iowa law, to go against Iowa law, and go against the representation of the voters of Iowa, and disenfranchise 400,000 voters.

Harts challenge to the House Administration Committee centers on 22 ballots the Democrats campaign argues were improperly rejected. Hart claims that had the ballots been counted, Hart would have carried the race in Iowas 2nd Congressional District by nine votes.

Iowa courts however, have been circumvented in reviewing the decision of bipartisan state election officials to seat Miller-Meeks.

The mechanism trigged by Hart to challenge her race has not been used for more than three decades. The last time such an appeal was made directly to the House was in 1984 between Democratic incumbent Frank McCloskey and Republican challenger Richard McIntyre in Indiana. House Speaker Tip ONeill, who enjoyed a wider majority at the time than held by Pelosi today, denied McIntyre, who won state-certification, a place in the lower chamber until the process was able to play out.

After the Government Accountability Office re-examined the race, it declared McCloskey the winner by a mere four votes, and the Democratic House voted the incumbent member of their caucus would retain the seat.

The Migrant Crisis Isn’t Just At The Border, It Stretches To Central America – The Federalist

Posted: at 2:57 am

It doesnt matter how the Biden administration tries to spin it, there is undeniably a crisis underway at the southwest border. The number of illegal border crossings is up 100 percent over this time last year, and at this rate apprehensions of illegal immigrants will surpass all of 2018, 2019, and 2020 combined. As of this writing, a record number of unaccompanied migrant teens are in federal custody, with hundreds more arriving every day.

The Washington Post reports that more than 8,500 minors are in shelters run by the Department of Health and Human Services, and another 3,500 are in U.S. Border Patrol stations facilities that are basically concrete holding cells, not designed for minors or families, and not intended to house anyone for more than 72 hours. As of now, however, minors are being held for an average of 107 hours, in violation of federal law, because HHS has nowhere to place them.

The largest number of migrants held in these Border Patrol facilities during the Trump administration was 2,600 in June 2019, when President Trump was denounced by Democrats and the corporate press for putting kids in cages. The press is now predictably silent, and Democrats deny there is even a crisis.

But that, of course, has been as predictable as the crisis itself. President Biden came into office and signed a raft of executive orders that ended key Trump-era policies that had helped reduce illegal border-crossing. The effect of that shift has been profound. From the Rio Grande to Tegucigalpa, word has gone out that now is the time to migrate north, that if you can get into the United States, Biden will let you stay.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador acknowledged as much after a virtual meeting with Biden on March 1, saying, They see him as the migrant president, and so many feel theyre going to reach the United States. Mexican officials are now worried that Biden administration policies are creating a boon for organized crime, which increasingly traffics in migrants, charging each one thousands to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Migrants have become a commodity, one Mexican official told Reuters this week.

Cartel-associated smuggling networks are making huge profits charging migrants, most of them from Central America, for passage through Mexico and into the U.S. As in previous migrant surges, smugglers commonly referred to as coyotes are advising people to bring children with them, even offering discounted rates for adults crossing with children.

The reason for the discount is simple: An adult with a child makes a smugglers job easier. Instead of trying to evade Border Patrol, adults with children simply turn themselves in to the nearest Border Patrol agents and claim asylum. In some cases, the adult is not actually the parent of the child he is traveling with, a practice that was well-documented during the 2019 border crisis.

Under the Biden administrations new border policies, which mirror the Obama-eras catch-and-release procedures, most of those claiming asylum will be released into the United States after a short time with instructions to appear before an immigration judge. This creates an enormous incentive for desperate people in Central America seeking a better life, but also enormous incentives for cartels and smuggling networks to profit off the flow of migrants. Indeed, cartels along the border have developed highly-sophisticated systems for tracking migrant payments, with most of their customers remaining in a form of debt bondage even after theyre residing in the states.

But thats just one end of the problem. By the time Central American migrants get to northern Mexico, its very difficult to prevent their crossing into the U.S., given the resources and incentives of the cartels.

The other end of the problem is in the sending countries in Central America, the so-called Northern Triangle of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. The corporate press and lawmakers of both parties most often focus on the poverty and gang violence in Central America but miss a more important aspect, which is the extent of official corruption in the governments of these countries. That corruption is directly tied to drug trafficking and the transnational cartels that are helping drive illegal immigration on the border.

For example, in the scrum of headlines about the royal family and President Joe Bidens dogs this week, you might have missed an important story that bears directly on all of this: The president of Honduras was implicated in a massive drug-trafficking scheme and is allegedly in the pay of transnational drug cartels.

At the opening of a trial for accused Honduran drug trafficker Geovanny Fuentes Ramrez in New York on Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacob Gutwillig said Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernndez was an integral part of Fuentes Ramrezs trafficking operation. His operations thrived because of his connections, Gutwillig said. Mayors, congressmen, military generals, police chiefs, even the current president of Honduras. The defendant bribed them all.

One of the witnesses who will testify during the trial, added Gutwillig, was present when Hernndez said he wanted to shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos and flood the United States with cocaine.

This isnt the first time Hernndezs name has come up in a high-profile federal trial. During a 2019 trial that led to the conviction of his brother, Juan Antonio Hernndez, the Honduran president was accused of accepting more than $1 million in bribes from the now-imprisoned former head of the Sinaloa Cartel, infamous Mexican drug trafficker Joaqun El Chapo Guzmn.

Hernndez has long denied any involvement in drug trafficking, although a filing by prosecutors in the Fuentes Ramrez case confirmed he is under investigation by U.S. authorities, according to the Associated Press.

The reason all this matters to the migrant crisis underway at the border is that, to put it bluntly, putatively sovereign states like Honduras are in a state of collapse. Ordinary people in these countries, encouraged by the Biden administration, are making a rational and reasonable choice to travel north and get into the United States by any means possible.

As countries like Honduras continue to implode under the weight of corruption and collusion with cartels, people in those countries will keep coming north. Turning them away, as the Trump administration did, is only a partial fix. Allowing them in, as the Biden administration is doing, enriches cartels by providing them a nearly unlimited supply of paying customers (and victims). It also creates a humanitarian crisis in South Texas and other border states, as were now seeing.

In the long run, the United States cant continue its long-standing policy of benign neglect of our southern neighbors. The chaos and corruption that plague those countries will, one way or another, make its way to us eventually. At that point, it will be too late to stop an illegal immigration crisis that wont number in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, but the millions.

Ben Domenech Breaks Down The Math On What Wins Elections With David Shor – The Federalist

Posted: at 2:57 am

Federalist Publisher Ben Domenech hosted progressive political data scientist and Senior Fellow at The Center for The American Progress Action Fund David Shor on his new Fox News podcast published Monday to break down the math on winning elections, and why President Donald Trump was good for the Republican Party.

Elections are a lot closer than they used to be, Shor says. It used to be that there were really big blow outs one way or another.

Polarization however, particularly among the educated elite, have made such elections far more rare.

Looking ahead to 2022, Shor said, Republicans have a lot to be optimistic about considering Trumps expansion of the base combined with the historical gravity where the party in the White House fairs poorly in the new presidents first midterms.

Midterms are usually pretty predictable, Shor said, citing the common gains of the opposition party. That means that going into this, Democrats are in a pretty bad position. If we just do business as usual, then were going to lose an enormous number of House seats, and a couple of Senate seats.

Leftists Are Pushing Asian Americans Out Of The Democratic Party – The Federalist

Posted: at 2:57 am

Asian Americans are beginning to realize that their values are no longer aligned with the shifting Democratic Party.

A recent spike in Asian hate crimes has led to leftist and corporate media that deliberately refuse to talk about the perpetrators and their motives. They insinuate the hate crimes are due to either structural imbalances in society or a direct result of white supremacy rhetoric. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bizarrely blamed the rise in attacks on Asians on former President Trump.

The New York Times also attributed it to Trumps alleged xenophobia with the term Chinese virus. NBC News even went further, pondering whether violence against Asians should really be considered a hate crime, given that Asians are privileged and it might hamper the fight against systemic racism.

Outlets refuse to acknowledge who the crimes (including murder, gang rape, and assault) are committed by or fear of a backlash from activist groups. As with most attacks on Jews in New York city, most of the perpetrators are black.

Meanwhile, real systemic racism, as in racism perpetuated in a systemic way by figures in authority specifically targeted at any minority race, is happening against Asians. Americas oldest and top medical journal recently wrote that Asian Americans must recognize their position of privilege now. This idea is a direct result of the perpetuation of critical race theory, where success, hard work, and other conservative values are considered white supremacy.

The Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Greater New York (CACAGNY) issued a statement, completely ignored by corporate media, calling critical race theory (CRT) a hate crime against Asians.

One way or another, CRT wants to get rid of too many Asians in good schools. Asians are over-represented. CRT is todays Chinese Exclusion Act. CRT is the real hate crime against Asians, the statement read, adding that CRT appears in our workplaces under the cover of implicit bias/sensitivity training. It infiltrates our schools pretending to be culturally/ethnically responsive pedagogy, with curricula such as the New York Times 1619 Project and Seattles ethnomathematics.

CRT activists push for lowering admission standards and the removal of merit-based entrance exams, alarming Asian parents who know that means fewer admissions for qualified Asian students. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio even went as far as proposing an admission process based on race in an attempt to prevent too many Asians in NYCs elite schools. Asian Americans are taking note of which side these proposals are coming from.

What we are observing is the first spark of a reactionary pan-Asian class consciousness, and the realization that Asian Americans (including both East and South Asians) perhaps do not belong in the Democratic Party. Leftists words of diversity clearly ring hollow, as hard-working Asians from every socio-economic background, with stable family structures and strong disciplined work ethic, face discrimination.

This discrimination ranges from the abolition of gifted programs in schools, where Asians earn a larger portion of the student pool than their percentage of the population, to universities, where Asians face direct discrimination in admissions as they score high in standard admission tests. In addition, now Asians are facing violence on the streets, and the perpetrators are typically glossed over in media reporting.

The cultural dynamic is also important. A stable family structure is important for a disciplined life, which in turn is important to developing an instinct for success. This is not racial. It is simply the kind of character and values that help people succeed.

The evidence on this is overwhelming and cross-racial. Anyone who adopts these values has a better chance to succeed in life. Broken families and fatherlessness are directly correlated with lack of academic and career success, so much so that it forms a pattern too large to ignore.

But they are ignored, as these are taboo to mention in leftist circles. Hollywood has perpetuated a myth that humans cannot be culturally superior or inferior. Consider the Hollywood telling of origin stories that feature evil characters who reinforce the central leftist myth that all evil results from early traumas, social oppression, or toxic ideologies, and not from any evolutionary or cultural influences.

According to modern philosophy, one must always be a victim of circumstances or structural inequality. Naturally, when Asian Americans shatter that myth through sheer hard work, they also bust the narrative of white supremacy and structural racism. There are then only two weapons leftists see: Either to offset that success with affirmative action, which actively harms anyone intelligent, or to call successful Asian Americans a cog in the machine of white supremacy.

Why is there no collective fight against this? John Yoo and Avik Roy wrote in 2019 that the natural home of Asian-Americans is in the GOP. They are a natural match with conservatism, from work ethic to sexual politics to academic success. Yet it appears Republican leadership has squandered that opportunity.

For a start, neither Asian Americans nor Indian Americans have powerful lobby groups with deep pockets and coordinated action plans. Most of the demographics are deeply instinctively conservative, yet the few left-wing Asian and Indian Americans continue to hog the rhetorical limelight and the microphones. As long as that continues, there is no chance of any fight back.

The first thing Asian-Americans need to do is have something akin to Mumsnet in Britain, the nascent forum that formed the backbone of middle-class British mothers to organize against left-wing politics, to write petitions, organize mass calls, and coordinate movements, to pressure universities, schools, and local politicians.

Second, they need to form local committees and groups not just for physical safety, but also to form a pressure bloc in local politics. Third, they need to stand for elections, in a political party that supports hard work and success.

Asian Americans and Indian Americans are mostly middle class, the class that gives the most back to society while getting the least in return. Their cultural instinct is to put their heads down to work hard and save money and have a family and not make much of a fuss. But those days are coming to an end.

Asian Americans need to urgently understand that a society where success, discipline, ambition, and other conservative values are in considered traits of white supremacy, and affirmative action is implemented to offset them, is not a society where they can ever thrive, succeed, or even survive.

Types of Alternative and Traditional Medicine Available – – VENTS Magazine – VENTS Magazine

Posted: at 2:57 am

Have you ever asked yourself how people used to be treated before the coming hospitals, trained doctors and diagnostic machines? Alternative medicine and traditional herbs were the way to go. Some foods, such as the Adaptogenic mushrooms, were also known to be medicinal and people used to consume it when they sick. Despite the coming of modern medicine, alternative and traditional medicine is still being practiced in many parts of the world. What are some of the practices of traditional and alternative medicines? Here some of the collections of alternative medicine practices.

Diet and Herbs

Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine. That is a slogan that probably is known by everyone and it holds to be true. The use of supplements, certain foods like mushrooms and certain plants such as Aloe Vera has been a common practice. People believe that the herbs are therapeutic. Use of supplements to treat diseases is still in use up to today. Take of example the use of iron supplements to treat iron deficiency anemia. The use of vitamin supplements for people who are immunocompromised is also a good example of use of alternative medicine. The use of medicinal mushroom extracts has also been on the rise because of its improved effectiveness.

Traditional or Alternative Medicine

This type of medicine practice was majorly used by the Chinese and the Indians and later spread to the other parts of the world. Indians for example made use of Yoga to keep fit and eliminate diseases. In China, the use of Acupuncture and chiropractor medicine became so common to the extent that people begun to believe the two methods were the final healing methods. Other forms of traditional medicine included the homeopathy and naturopathy which all included improving the body wellness and prevent it from diseases and illnesses.

Use of the Mind to Treat People

Before the coming of modern medicine, healers used to believe that disease and illnesses start in the mind. Mental health and emotions were regarded as part of the causers of illnesses and ailments if they were tampered in one way or another. Healing methods such as the hypnosis, meditation and biofeedback were used to make people heal from illnesses. The only drawback was that there was no defined dose for each of these interventions so people couldnt really know how much to administer to clients. Practically, some people used to feel better and it became an order of the day in treating the sick.

External Energy

The use of external energy and stimulation to bring a state of normalcy in the body were among the methods used to treat diseases. An example is the use of electroconvulsive therapy to treat mental health issues because it tends to correct the abnormal firing of the brain. Involvement of people in sports, dance and other activities is also known to bring a perfect kind of healing to the people. Such practices are now being sidelined by modern medicine and people are embarking on the use of modern therapeutic interventions to get healed.

Conclusion

Alternative medicine was one of the best ways to heal people before the coming of modern medicine. Even now as modern medicine is predominant, people still use the traditional medicine because there is still Yoga in India and there are still Chiropractor services in China. Mushrooms are used as medicines these days especially the ones that are organically engineered to have medicinal properties. The fact that they have low calorie, low fats and have a low glycemic index make them a health and fitness food for people with conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Other medicinal plants include the Aloe Vera and Digitalis plant.

‘Uprooted’ Protests The Amazon-ification Of The World – The Federalist

Posted: at 2:57 am

When I learned in high school that Hillary Clinton had written a book called It Takes A Village, it ruined the phrase for me. As a good disciple of rugged American individualism, I resented the concept as basically closet communism.

Conservatives and libertarians rightly celebrate the accomplishments of individuals, glorifying images of self-sufficient mountain men and self-made businessmen. We admire the opportunities that a free market provides for people to create their own success. America is, after all, built on the idea that anyone can climb the ladder of progress and prosperity.

But when individualism goes so far as to sever the roots that anchor the individual in his local community, he simply becomes dependent on something else.When he stops shopping in his local hardware store, he starts ordering from Amazon. When county commission meetings seem defunct, he looks to the federal government to solve his problems.

Too many conservatives shirk the idea of community interdependence because it sounds too much like a leftist assault on capitalism and personal responsibility. Grace Olmsteads new book Uprooted challenges that view, reclaiming localism and community interdependence as the conservative causes they are.

A native of the small farming town of Emmett, Idaho, Olmstead moved to Northern Virginia for college, where she and her husband still live. Researching for the book, she traveled back home, documenting the handed-down stories of her great-grandparents and their neighbors. Examining the threat of brain drain in rural farming communities, she wrestled with her own responsibility to her hometown.

In my first few years living in Washington, DC, I wrote many articles defending broken placesfighting for towns experiencing postindustrial collapse or brain drain, Olmstead writes. I didnt even consider the fact that I was one of the kids that had blown away.

The book is also an appreciative eulogy for previous generations. Recalling Wallace Stegners division of transient boomers who go where the winds of progress blow and stickers who put down roots, Olmstead celebrates the stickers who built her hometown.

Her stories of the farmers who settled Emmett and those who continue to put down roots there are sometimes tragic and always charming. When her newlywed great-grandparents bought their farmhouse, she says, they had mere dollars in their pockets and had to watch when their neighbors left the fields for a lunch break because they couldnt afford a clock.

Now, the farmhouse is home to Emmett natives Terry and Ashley Walton and their five young children. Every year since their first child was born, theyve loaded the whole family onto Terrys combine at harvesttime as it makes its way through the fields.

Interwoven with the success stories are also hardships and loss. Olmstead shares the story of Lucy and Joe Lourenco, who moved to Emmett from Portugal as newlyweds in the 1980s. In 1993, a snowstorm almost ruined the Lourencos fledgling dairy farm.

After almost 30 years of overcoming bad weather and economic hardship, the Lourencos decided to downsize and sell their dairy in 2019. They arent alone; half of American dairy farmers disappeared between 2000 and 2018, Olmstead reports.

Local communities and especially farming towns continue to struggle as more Americans move their homes to cities, their business online, and their sights toward a vague notion of upward mobility. Those who stay in their hometowns, Olmstead laments, are too often seen as the ones who couldnt keep up.

Wealth is no longer built through allegiance to a community or a town, she says. It is increasingly achieved in isolation by individuals and grown through rootlessness, not through loyalty.

While the individualist virtues of determination, hard work, and personal responsibility are important, they shouldnt (and dont have to) lead to a belittling of the role of community roots. Rootedness is foundational in the philosophies of conservative giants like Edmund Burke, who emphasized the obligations that every person has to the people around him and the ancestors who have gone before him.

Rootedness is also intricately woven into the fabric of federalism and limited government. Nationalization and globalization, on the other hand, emphasize the relationship between a citizen and the government and the governments place in solving problems, providing rights, and policing disagreement. Localism combats that, reinforcing the ties of loyalty between people that transcend political allegiances.

In the Emmett, Idaho that her great-grandfather knew, Olmstead writes, Life was a given thing: poured out and then offered back in a list of dependencies and debts so long, it could never be settled. It was never meant to be.

Those neighborly dependencies and debts are not antithetical to conservatism, but foundational to it. The ties of community around us are what keep us going far more effectively and far more lovingly than federal programs and handouts can.

While many conservatives feel they are fighting a losing battle on the national scale, many of our most important tasks are those we tackle in our immediate communities with the people surrounding us. They are in church potlucks and county fairs in cultivating liberty and loyalty at home.

Wherever we decide to live, we must learn to stick: choosing to invest ourselves in place, to love our neighbors, to leave our soil a little healthier than it was when we arrived, Olmstead says. Every place will be imperfect. Our own efforts at living well in place will be imperfect. But love suggests that we ought to keep trying anyway: to keep sowing seeds of service and generosity in the lands we love.

Uprooted is available here on March 16, 2021. Better yet, buy it at your local bookstore, which you can do online at IndieBound.org.

Global Alternative Medicines Market: Overview

Alternative medicines include treatments other than allopathic. Alternative medicine treatments include systems with healing ability such as acupuncture, acupuncture, naturopathy, herbal remedies, and homeopathy. The medical profession does not regard these healing systems as orthodox treatment systems. Some of these treatments are accepted to be of value for certain conditions. Herbal medicines include drugs that are derived from plants. Herbal medicines are either used for therapeutic purpose, or as supplements to improve well-being or health. Herbal products are available as teas, extracts, powders, capsules, tablets, and others. These products are natural, hence considered to be safe. Herbal medicines have the ability to cure almost all the types of diseases.

Nutraceutical is a combination of the words nutrition and pharmaceutical. Nutraceutical medicines or products are fortified food or food products that provide supplementary diet and also help in prevention and treatment of diseases except anemia. Nutraceuticals are not regulated and tested to the extent of pharmaceutical drugs. These have the ability to treat diseases including ADHD, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, anemia, sickle cell, anxiety, aphthous ulcer, carnitine deficiency, depression, dietary supplementation, dyspareunia, eye conditions, fibromyalgia, herbal supplementation, herpes simplex, herpes simplex, suppression, high cholesterol, Huntingtons disease, hypertriglyceridemia, insomnia, jet lag, muscle pain, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, Parkinsons disease, peripheral neuropathy, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, short bowel syndrome, and smoking cessation.

13 health benefits of ashwagandha herbal medicine – Yahoo Lifestyle UK

Posted: at 2:56 am

From Netdoctor

Ashwagandha is considered to be one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. Native to India, ashwagandha is often referred to as Indian ginseng thanks to its strength and vitality boosting benefits.

While some might be sceptical when it comes to herbal or alternative medicines, ashwagandha comes with a number of scientifically-proven health benefits.

But what exactly is ashwagandha? What are the benefits of this popular herb, and does Ayurvedic medicine come with any side-effects? We asked the experts:

Also known as winter cherry or Ayurvedic ginseng, ashwagandha is a plump evergreen shrub which produces orange or red berries about the size of raisins. It flourishes in the dry areas of India and North America.

The roots are the part most commonly used in herbal medicine although the leaves and flowers also have therapeutic properties.

Ashwagandha is used in medicine because it's an adaptogenic herb. 'From a herbal perspective, there is nothing better at restoring vitality and bringing body back to balance than adaptogens,' says Jenya Di Pierro, a professional herbalist and founder of wellness club Cloud Twelve.

'Many adaptogens have medicinal roots that take many years to mature,' she continues. 'The concentrated energy and nutrients of the plants that have been stored in mature roots are the culmination of years of growth and adaptation. Hence the term "adaptogens".'

Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb with multiple proven health benefits. Here are 13 scientifically-backed uses and advantages:

We all suffer from stress occasionally, and ashwagandha might be able to help. In one study, which pharmacist Mike Wakeman from Nature's Way points to, found that adults with chronic stress who took two capsules of ashwagandha root a day for 60 days helped decrease stress levels by 44 per cent and reduced the stress hormone cortisol by 28 per cent.

Ashwagandha is effective for managing anxiety, according to Di Pierro. 'Most adaptogens are tonifying, but ashwagandha is a bit unusual as it is also calming,' she says.

Meanwhile, research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that taking ashwagandha resulted in improvements (significantly in most cases) with anxiety management.

The herbal medicine also comes with immunity boosting benefits. 'Ashwagandha increases resistance to infections, relieves allergies, boosts an under-active immune system while also assisting with auto-immune conditions such as lupus, MS and others,' says Di Pierro.

If you're a woman and your sex drive has dipped or something is amiss in the bedroom, ashwagandha might be able to help.

'In one study 50 healthy women who took concentrated oral doses of ashwagandha reported having more orgasms and more satisfying sex,' says Wakeman. 'The authors suggest this could have been due to the herbs stress-reducing effects as well as its role in boosting the sex hormone, testosterone.'

Ashwagandha has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine to help promote restful sleep.

'Indeed, the somnifera part of its botanical name, Withania somnifera is derived from the Latin word for sleep,' says Wakeman. 'A recent study in animals suggests that triethylene glycol, another plant chemical found in its leaves, may be the magic ingredient that improves sleep quality.'

A number of studies have found that taking ashwagandha can reduce blood sugar levels - in both people who have diabetes and those who don't.

Research, including data published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine[vi] suggests that ashwagandha may help soothe joint pain and swelling associated with arthritis a result the authors attribute to the pain-relieving and cartilage-protective effects of withanolides and other plant chemicals.

Studies have also shown ashwagandha may help with weight loss. Chronic stress is often associated with weight gain and in a study, cited by Fito, 52 people under chronic stress received either a placebo or ashwagandha for eight weeks.

Those participants taking ashwagandha were found to be less stressed, had less food cravings, were happier and their body weight had reduced, compared to those taking the placebo.

An eight week study, involving 57 men, saw participants consuming either an ashwagandha extract or a placebo while undergoing resistance training.

The results showed, compared to the placebo group, those taking the ashwagandha extract had significantly greater increases in muscle strength, as measured when bench-pressing and doing leg-extensions, and significantly greater muscle size increase in their arms and chest.

If you're trying to get pregnant, ashwagandha might be the solution. 'Ashwagandha is a famous fertility tonic,' says Di Pierro. The science is there to back it up, too. In one study which looked at 75 infertile men, those treated with ashwagandha showed an increase in both sperm count and motility.

Ashwagandha is often used by athletes to help boost physical performance.

'This appears to be confirmed in a study of 57 young men aged between 18-50 years old who took ashwagandha root extract twice daily,' says Wakeman. 'They saw significant increases in muscle mass and strength when they undertook a resistance training programme compared with those who took a placebo.'

Several studies have shown that taking ashwagandha can reduce cholesterol levels. This is beneficial to our heart health as high cholesterol can lead to heart disease.

While the research is still limited, there are a few promising studies that indicate ashwagandha may reduce symptoms of depression.

However, if you think you might be suffering from depression, speak to your doctor as ashwagandha should not be used to replace treatments recommended by your GP.

It's clear there are a number of health benefits to ashwagandha, and it is believed to be one of the safest herbs out there. However, as will all medicine - both traditional and herbal - it comes with precautions and long-term effects are not known.

'Higher doses of ashwagandha taken for insomnia may cause drowsiness in the morning,' warns Di Pierro.

Meanwhile, ashwagandha may cause some stomach upset such as diarrhoea and vomiting, although this tends to be if you've taken a higher dose.

There isn't much evidence to suggest ashwagandha can cause weight gain. As for your hormones, ashwagandha might increase how much thyroid hormone the body produces, and other evidence suggests it promotes testosterone, meaning if you already have a condition such as PCOS, you might want to avoid it.

Ashwagandha can be consumed in a number of different ways. It can be taken as a tablet, in a capsule or as powder stirred into warm milk.

Is ashwagandha safe to take daily? 'Yes, ashwagandha can be taken daily,' says Di Pierro.

Taking ashwagandha as a supplement may be an effective way to improve various health concerns, but speak to your GP or a registered herbal expert before you proceed and remember to follow the instructions on labeled products.

Ashwagandha is generally considered to be safe for most people. However, according to the experts, the following people should avoid the herbal supplement:

Pregnant women.

Those who are breastfeeding.

Those with diabetes, as it might interfere with the medicines already being taken to reduce blood sugar levels.

Those with with thyroid disorders.
