Ashwagandha for stress and immunity is a powerful ally during Capricorn season, a time marked by ambition, determination, and the weight of responsibility. What happens when chronic stress meets winter’s demands? How can this adaptogenic root support your nervous system, immune resilience, and groundedness during a season of goal-setting?

In this episode of Eclectic Herbal Wisdom, Chris and Mel explore Capricorn energy, the shadow side of burnout, and why Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a foundational herb for stress resilience, vitality, and winter wellness.

What’s in this episode:

• Capricorn traits and the shadow side of ambition, recognizing when responsibility becomes burden
• Ashwagandha as an adaptogen for chronic stress, nervous exhaustion, and HPA axis support
• Immunomodulator vs immune stimulant, and why Ashwagandha supports winter immune resilience
• Traditional uses for reproductive health, libido, and long-term vitality
• How to work with Ashwagandha: golden milk, fresh root tinctures, freeze-dried capsules, and growing your own
• Using Capricorn energy for goal-setting and boundaries, even if you’re not a Capricorn
• Journal prompts and plant rituals for releasing stress and connecting with earth energy

We’d love to hear from you
