A member asked:
My 21-year-old daughter is interested in taking ashwagandha to help her anxiety. are there any negative effects or concerns from it that could impact her fertility/reproductive health when she one day tries to get pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ashwagandha works by reducing cortisol levels which improves blood circulation throughout the body. This has a positive effect on the reproductive system, reduces stress/anxiety and promotes better sleep. Many people take ashwagandha to improve fertility. It should not have any negative effects in the long term. She should use appropriate contraceptives if sexually active to prevent pregnancy.
