Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been experiencing high levels of psychological stress and have heard that Ashwagandha is a natural dietary supplement that might help. Can you provide information on the effectiveness of Ashwagandha in managing stress and anxiety? Are there any potential side effects or considerations I should be aware of before using it? Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Stress is one of the most common medical conditions. Ashwagandha is the best stress reliever and sleep-inducer of Ayurvedic medication. I advise you to follow the below-mentioned instructions.

  1. Ashwagandha is available in both powder and tablet form. It is given at night, but sometimes it can be taken during the daytime.
  2. Consume Ashwagandha maximum of 500 mg per day after dinner with milk.
  3. Do not take it on an empty stomach.
  4. There are no side effects except digestive problems on consuming excess amounts of it. Ashwagandha helps to lower your blood pressure, improves concentration, sperm count, and quality, and reduces fatigue.
  5. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take the medication with their consent.

I hope the information will help you.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
