Ashwagandha is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine to aid the natural healing processes as it is believed, in various cultures, to maintain youth. Native to India and North Africa, the Ashwagandha plant has been found to have a variety of health benefits when taken as a supplement.
Ashwagandha can regulate chemical signals in the stress pathway in the brain and reduce cortisol levels which is a compound released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. Therefore, Ashwagandha is a useful aid to many people in reducing stress and anxiety. It can also reduce inflammation and help the brain to heal and recover from injury or illness. This can decrease the risk of diseases such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease.
Researchers believe that Ashwagandha could potentially reduce the growth of certain cancers such as breast and lung cancer. This is down to a compound within the Ashwagandha plant called Withaferin A. The compound induces programmed cell death, which decreases the growth of a tumour.
Additionally, Ashwagandha can mitigate the risk of heart disease by decreasing the levels of triglycerides and LDLs (bad cholesterol) in the blood. This can prevent atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque within the arteries, which is a known lead to a number of heart diseases.
Cautions:
Do not take Ashwagandha supplements if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Speak to one of our GPs if you suffer from an autoimmune disease before taking Ashwaganda supplements.

Why Combine Focused & Radial Shockwave?
While some clinics offer just one type, at Levitas, we combine both focused and radial shockwave therapy in each session. Why?Â
Focused shockwave penetrates deeper, making it ideal for tendons, calcifications, and chronic inflammation.Â
Radial shockwave disperses energy across a wider area — perfect for releasing muscle tension and aiding in muscle recovery.Â
Together, this dual-modality approach enhances tissue healing from the inside out. Sessions last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to treat both superficial and deep pain effectively — and that’s why our outcomes are consistently better.Â
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Muscle Recovery
Shockwave therapy is not only for injury — it’s also a powerful tool for post-exercise recovery and sports rehabilitation. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just trying to stay active, the benefits include:Â
Faster recovery from intense workoutsÂ
Reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)Â
Improved circulation to fatigued musclesÂ
Loosening of tight fascia and trigger pointsÂ
Enhanced performance and injury preventionÂ
If you’re in Wimbledon, Knightsbridge, or Guildford, our local clinics can support your recovery journey without disrupting your routine.Â
