What are the benefits and negatives of taking ashwaghanda plant capsules (2) once a day? any harms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't leap yet!: Ashwagandha has a lot of claims but so far there isn’t enough information to judge whether it is effective for any of them--used for arthritis, anxiety, trouble sleeping (insomnia), tumors, tuberculosis, asthma, a skin condition marked by white patchiness (leukoderma), bronchitis, backache, fibromyalgia, menstrual problems, hiccups, chronic liver disease, as an “adaptogen” & as a general tonic.
