I've OCD and i was on a verge of complete failure.

Untill a friend recommended me to try Ashwgandha (Withania somnifera)

After that my life completely changed positively.

I've lost my anxiety since then. I usually take it with a glass of milk.

Now, I've very less stress.

Were you under any sort of medication before?

My preliminary research shows it's in the realm of homeopathy and folk medicine. But still might be worth a shot if it can reduce anxiety.

Can you elaborate a bit on how to find it and how it changed you?

If you haven't encountered it, examine.com is a good resource; they curate research on supplements.

In the Human Effect Matrix, in the Anxiety entry, you can see a link to 3 double-blind, placebo controlled studies examining the effects of ashwagandha on anxiety: https://examine.com/rubric/effects/view/a42299063269c89b14ce...

As far as sourcing, you could look at consumerlab (paid subscription; they do independent testing of supplements).
