If nothing else works - try Ashwagandha.

Ashwagandha, the base of KSM66, is one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine, with a documented use for more than 4,000 years. In Ayurvedic medicine, Ashwagandha is known as the "Prince of Ayurveda" - and is one of the few Ayurvedic herbs that can be given to all constitutions and acts as a "Rasayan" - meaning it is generally strengthening, balancing and rejuvenating. 

Today, thanks to extensive clinical evidence, we know that the effect is a result of Ashwagandha having a specific effect on stress and thus on the stress hormone cortisol.

Traditional Ayurvedic uses for Ashwagandha include: fatigue, physical and mental weakness, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, poor memory, lack of sexual desire and fertility, and obesity. Indications that we now know are exacerbated by stress and elevated cortisol levels. 

The name Ashwagandha means in Sanskrit, smells like a horse, which comes partly from the fact that at harvest time there is a faint smell of horse. But above all, it should be interpreted as - Ashwagandha makes you strong like a horse - both mentally and physically.

The Latin name for Ashwagandha is Withania somnifera which means the herb that brings calm and sleep.
