How Calm Girl Ashwagandha Helps Black Women with Stress, Hormones & Sleep

NEW Calm Girl Ashwagandha: Be One of the First to Try!

Black women are often viewed as superwomen who can handle everything without breaking down. But just because we carry the weight of the world well, doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy!

Why Stress Hits Black Women Harder

Unique stressors are present throughout Black women’s lives that deeply impact our physical, mental, and emotional health. This consistent stress is also known as weathering, a term coined by Dr. Arline Geronimus. It refers to how societal factors like systemic racism and classism can cause the body to deteriorate over time (NPR). If left untreated for too long, this stress overload can increase the risk of life-threatening issues that already run rampant in our community.

Chronic health issues like hypertension, obesity, diabetes, lupus, and cardiovascular complications, can all feed off of the extra stress in our lives. In 2022, the National Library of Medicine published a study that found Black women to be disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease than other groups. We are also 50% more likely to receive a high blood pressure diagnosis, and diagnosed with diabetes twice as much (Yale School of Medicine).

Black women must understand that stress relief is more than self-care, it is about survival. There are tons of stress relief suggestions out there, but our BGV ladies needed something special and created just for them!

Why Does Ashwagandha Matter for Black Women?

Ashwagandha is an herb found in native regions of Northern Africa, India, and the Middle East. It has been used as a traditional medicine for centuries, primarily to treat and improve mental health and hormonal issues (Web MD).

Research shows that this natural adaptogen helps improve mood, stress levels, sleep patterns, and hormonal imbalances. This occurs by supporting the endocrine system, which is responsible for how our bodies handle stress. When this system is out of balance, it can lead to emotional burnout, disrupted sleep, and even hormone-related issues like anxiety or low mood.

Ashwagandha helps lower cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone. Elevated cortisol levels can leave you feeling exhausted, and emotionally drained. By keeping cortisol regulated, ashwagandha supports a more balanced mood and helps reduce that “always in fight-or-flight” feeling many Black women carry silently.

When stress levels decrease, sleep quality improves. Ashwagandha promotes deeper, more restful sleep by calming the nervous system and gently easing the body into relaxation. When used consistently, ashwagandha can also help the body better handle future stress, building resilience over time.
