I strongly recommend against taking #ashwagandha. While it can blunt neorotic emotions, providing relief, it also numbs positive emotions and disrupts momentum.

Traditionally ashwaghanda is used as a male aphrodisiac and for increasing semen ... it's like Viagra without any side effects.

It also is used to treat other imbalances....and usually dosage amount, combinations with synergistic herbs and purchasing from a reputable source ensure there are no side effects.

Consulting with someone who has trained in Ayurveda, rather than relying on the advice of an influencer or blogger, is generally a good place to start before self medicating with any Ayurveda herbs. ✨🙏

I read the article after posting my reply.

They are twisting study findings to meet their narrative that herbs are bad.

I'm sure if I dug deep enough, I would find a pharma sponsorship in here. 😂

For instance, what they're saying about diabetes is that ashwaghanda works to reduce blood sugar and will interfere with your prescription meds that are also reducing blood sugar.... so instead of high blood sugar, mixing with ashwaghanda means you may have blood sugar levels that are too low!

Now if your working with an Ayurveda doctor, they can help ease you off the diabetes meds (and others), slowly so you don't wack out your blood sugar levels....in some cases, along with dietary changes, the patient can completely stop taking expensive pharmaceuticals and switch to less expansive herbs or nothing at all (food is medicine).

People being cured of disease is disasterous for the medical industrial complex.

So these types of articles need to be printed regularly to scare people away. They usually bring out articles about lead and mercury in herbs from India too.

Sourcing is important.... but do people have any idea of the toxic ingredients that are in pharmaceuticals they currently are popping? 😂

So yes.... consult with an Ayurveda physician and don't self medicate. ✨🙏

Reading a study these days without knowing who funded it, and what the parameters for findings were, is not much different than basing your future off of fortune cookies.
