Official title
Effects of Ashwagandha Extract (Capsule KSM-66 300 mg) on Sexual Health in Healthy Women: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- Controlled Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Sexual health is a key part of a woman's overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being-even in the absence of any medical or psychological problems. It includes aspects such as sexual desire, arousal, satisfaction, and confidence in intimate relationships. Everyday factors like stress, fatigue, work-life balance, and hormonal changes can impact these areas, even in otherwise healthy women. Unfortunately, sexual wellness is often under-discussed in both clinical practice and research, especially for women who are not experiencing a diagnosed disorder. This study is designed to explore whether Ashwagandha root extract (KSM-66), a natural herbal supplement known for its stress-reducing and vitality-enhancing properties, can help support and maintain sexual wellness in healthy adult women. Unlike treatments aimed at correcting dysfunction, this research focuses on enhancing natural sexual function-improving desire, mood, and satisfaction as part of overall health. Participants take either Ashwagandha or a placebo over several weeks, and their experiences are measured using validated tools like the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Understanding and supporting sexual wellness through natural means can improve not only intimacy and relationship satisfaction, but also self-esteem, mood, and general life satisfaction. By addressing sexual health proactively in healthy individuals, this study contributes to a more complete picture of women's health and well-being.
