Artemesinin

Artemesinin, or Wormwood, is an antimalarial drug which acts as an AKT inhibitor. 1 This makes it able to fight against cancer cells as well. 2

AKT inhibitors show promise in fighting HSV outbreaks by blocking the virus’s access to Calcium. This same action is likely to impact other viruses as well, such as Covid and HIV. 3

Ashwaganda

Ashwaganda is a member of the nightshade family.

It shows antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria such as Staph, Enterrococcus, and Streptococcus. 1 And also gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella and Pseudomonas. 2

It also has antifungal properties, and is active against Candida Albicans. 2

It shows potential in treating malaria, diabetes, and cancer. However, because it increase testosterone, it should be avoided in those being treated for prostate cancer. 2

It increases sperm count and reduces FSH levels. In women, it increases arousal, lubrication, and orgasm. 2

It protects the cardiovascular system. It is also anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. 2

It also helps with stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression, schizophrenia, and hormone balance. 2

It helps build muscle. It might even be effective against COVID. 2

It may be useful in treating Hypothyroid conditions. That being said, it can exacerbate Hyperthyroid, so be mindful of each condition. 2

It increases GABA and reduces dopamine, which can be beneficial or harmful depending on the situation. GABA can excite or inhibit the nerves, and reduced dopamine can have an impact on clinical depression, for example. 2

Because it reduces the functioning of the HPA axis, it may speed aging rather than slowing it down. Supplementing with DHEA may help counteract this issue. 2

Those with autoimmune disease should avoid Ashwaganda altogether, because it boost immune activity and also is a member of the nightshade family. 2

Interactions:

Ashwagandha root may interact with anti-anxiety, sleep, myorelaxant and sedative preparations, exacerbating their effects due to synergism. The raw material exhibits additive effects with anticonvulsants, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines which may lead to an increase in their adverse effects, such as impaired motor coordination, muscle weakness, headache, decreased libido, muscle tremors, and drowsiness. Ashwagandha root should not be used concomitantly with immunosuppressive drugs. 2
