I've been taking 500mg of Ashwagandha root first thing in the morning and again at night for the last 3 weeks as I was suffering severe anxiety and panic attacks, it seems to be working better than any prescribed medication I have ever tried, my anxiety is basically gone and I'm now not taking any other prescribed or over the counter medications to treat it. It has also increased my libido hugely.

[@ikacuTV]

good for anxenty?

[@DeKKH]

This is interesting. My hubby and I take it everyday for adhd and anxiety. Seems to be good for us.

[@bpmalanadu7136]

There are lots for medicines in ayurveda for you condition, see a doctor.

[@anngoff6226]

[@dzontravolta3952]

Peopel who have gastritis can have problems , womiting and nausia , that is what i get , other than that it helps me feel more relaxed , and better libido because it's lowering cortisol .

[@iamthefiremanjj]

It can cause all of those symptoms in males too

[@fernandosantos6817]

I asked my doctor if i could take it, got told yes, before I knew my thyroid gone mad, to the point I hardly could breathe, I ended up in hospital, my liver was going sick too, got told if I had kept taking it i could have died! Be very careful!!! And even after stopping it , it took me ages to get back to normal!! Better not touching it !!!

[@eltahirelzubair2960]

why didn't you research it first before taking it. every dr said that if you have thyroid, u shouldn't take it.

Hi iam last 4 year thyroid weight gain day to day Thyroxin tablet use but not use any supplement tablet so which pharmacy tablets can use

[@MikaelVitally-rf5pn]

-----11--- I took ashwaganda for a long time, 3..4 days per week. I liked the effect on psychology and regulation of sex drive. However, and that's a big one: It caused inflammation of the liver, AST got as high as 40. When I took it off, all other things roughly the same, AST returned to 28 after 8 months. So, if you start taking it, observe your liver enzymes.

[@h_u_ma_nity]

Please add this information together with the benefits of aswaghanda. It's safer

[@gauravbharat9225]

Sir, does the liver damage only because of the contaminants present in it or also because of some other compounds present in it?

[@leg414]

Is it the quantity or the quality of the herb or both or more? Peace

[@SamanthaSoon91]

I have chronic stress and anxiety meltdowns every other day. Taking ashwaganda has helped me to calm down, have better sleep quality, and become a nicer person generally. Taking 300mg/day now (3rd day), but I noticed my period suddenly came after on the 2nd day. I have PCOS and already have irregular periods. Should I stop or continue with the supplementation because I really like how I am now a better functioning human mentally. Thank you for this informative video, others were only touching the surface of what ashwaganda does based on scientific research and doesnt help much when I try to understand whats happening to me.

[@AnnieDog-arfarf1]

PCOS is often related to diet. Primarily due to the effect of eating more carbs than the body is meant to handle. There are many videos on YT that address this.

[@jessicacruz6789]

It makes me spot and gives me bad headaches.

Male here, it gives me tremors as well - and on top of that it would also give me palpilations also - almost every time I'd consume it (given I already have heart palpilations since childhood, however it happens rarely when not taking ashwagandha). Stopped taking it and afraid to try again as it is very uncomfortable feeling - anxienty inducing almost, but without the ability to calm down.

[@iamthefiremanjj]

Yes like akathesia feelings

[@bpmalanadu7136]

Take a tiny amount of Aswagandhadi Lehyam and see how it works for you, make sure only a very small amount, less than 6gms with a little bit of warm water.

[@iamthefiremanjj]

@@bpmalanadu7136 yah small amounts are best 100mg

[@victoryover1156]

How do you take it if you have hashimotos? Supposedly, if you have hashimotos you should take ashwaganda without food because it might raise your T1 if you take it with food. If the active ingredient in it is fat soluble, shouldn't you eat food with it? I feel like I am missing the benefits by having it only with water. What do you think? Should I try taking it with food even though I have hashimotos?

Sir I dont gave Gout but i have high uric acid (currently taking medicine- whenever I take medicine for high Uric acid my report are coming with normal range) and also I have small uric acid stone in my kidney plus i have psorisis (Auto Immune) currently psoriasis gone, some time heart palpitations also happening, so can I take Ashwagandha and Shilajit. Please advise me

[@manthangajjar]

Sir I have taken Ashwagandha 2 tab yesterday night and 2 in the morning, my palpitations increased, so I am not going to take anymore and about Shilajit Dr Salim zaidi on his channel mentioned that shilajit needs to avoid if you hai high Uric acid problem and stone in kidney. I have both issues but when taking uric acid preventing tablets then report coming normal, so I am not eligible to take both Ashwagandha and Shilajit. Your views please.

Most antidepressants cause the first side effect too which is basically that they aren’t working

[@MrNephilim100]

Are all these side effects probable only while we take ashwaganda? Or even after stopping it those side effects will continue? I'm trying to figure out its effects on me.

[@kumarkk532]

If you get side effects , they will go away after you stop using ashwagandha .

[@user-team-vikings]

Its not a about lead. Aswagandha has a ton of alcaloids so you cant say its all about lead. Dietary supplements containing ashwagandha have recently been implicated in the development of cholestatic and mixed liver injury in humans (Bjornsson et al., 2020; LiverTox, 2019a). And if you already have liver issues its can acute liver damage without few weeks. So beteter check out youtr ALT and AST levels to be sure that your liver is not sensible to this alcaloids
