“…The global burden of anxiety disorders, affecting diverse demographics, has led to a growing interest in alternative treatments. Ashwagandha and Sweet Basil, known for their adaptogenic and anxiolytic effects, are complemented by cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), valued for its aromatic qualities and potential mood-regulating properties (9). This blend, formulated as a tea, presents an innovative approach to anxiety management, especially for women of childbearing age, who may prefer natural interventions considering their safety profile (10).…”

Background: Anxiety disorders are prevalent among young adults, especially women of childbearing age, necessitating the exploration of alternative therapeutic interventions. The present study investigates a specialized tea blend combining Ashwagandha, Sweet Basil, and cinnamon for potential anxiety alleviation in this demographic. Objective: The primary objectives encompassed (1) formulating a tea blend combining Ashwagandha and Sweet Basil with cinnamon, (2) evaluating its nutritional and sensory attributes, and (3) assessing its potential to reduce anxiety using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Methods: Ingredients were procured from Faisalabad's native market and crushed to formulate two tea variants. The study was conducted over 21 days with 30 participants, divided into three groups: G0 (Control), G1 (Ashwagandha and Cinnamon), and G2 (Sweet Basil and Cinnamon). Anxiety levels were assessed using BAI at the start and end of the intervention. Results: Nutritional analysis indicated variations in moisture, ash, crude fat, crude protein, and NFE content among formulations. Sensory evaluations pointed to G1 having superior aroma, texture, flavor, and overall acceptability, while G2 excelled in appearance. BAI assessments, though indicative of potential anxiety-reducing effects, were not conclusively significant due to sample size constraints. Conclusion: The tea formulations exhibited promising relationships between sensory appeal, nutritional value, and potential anxiety-reducing effects. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and longer intervention periods are warranted for more definitive insights. The study contributes to the exploration of natural interventions for anxiety management, emphasizing the nexus between sensory experiences, nutrition, and emotional well-being.

A study was conducted was conducted to estimate the extent of heterosis for root yield and attributing traits in ashwagandha at the Botanical Garden, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, C. P. C. A, S. D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, India. Thirty six hybrids were generated from the diallel mating design of 9 diverse parents during October 2018 – March 2019 (rabi season). Fourty five entries were evaluated in RBD with 3 replications during October 2019–March 2020 (rabi season) for the yield and attribuiting traits. The root traits are given more emphasis because of its economic value.All the forty-five genotypes exhibited moderate to good mean performance along with an adequate amount of variability among and between the parents and hybrids. Most of the hybrids showed highly significant better parent and standard heterosis in desirable direction for the traits considered. The hybrids like SKA 10×JA 20, JA 134×AWS 1, SKA 24×SKA 26, SKA 24×AWS 1, SKA 11×AWS 1, SKA 11×SKA 26 and JA 20×AWS 1 were with a markedly significant heterotic response for fresh root yield trait. The results also suggest that the cross JA 134×AWS 1is appropriate to exploit heterosis in root length, fresh root yield and dry root yield. Further evaluation and generation advancement of these successful crosses can derive transgressive segregants and hybrids with high yield potential for commercialization.
