NIH LiverTox rates ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) likelihood score B, a likely cause of clinically apparent liver injury. Onset is typically 2 to 12 weeks after starting, with a cholestatic or mixed pattern, often with jaundice and itching. About 23 documented cases have been reported since 2017. Most were self-limited, but rare fatal cases, emergency transplant, and 3 deaths from acute-on-chronic liver failure have been reported in an Indian case series. Serious outcomes are uncommon relative to how widely ashwagandha is used, but they are real, so take the herb in a bounded course, not indefinitely.
Stop and seek medical help if you notice yellowing of the eyes or skin, itching, dark urine, persistent nausea, or unusual tiredness.
For centuries, Sri Lankan healers have harnessed the power of Ayurveda, a holistic approach to health and well-being. Among the most revered herbs in this practice is Ashwagandha, also known as Indian Ginseng. This adaptogenic herb has been traditionally used and studied for its potential to help with stress, vitality, and overall wellness.
The Wonder of Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha boasts a rich history of use in traditional medicine. Its name translates to "horse smell," reflecting its reputation for imparting strength and stamina. Modern research is increasingly exploring the potential benefits of Ashwagandha, including:
- Stress Relief: Ashwagandha may help manage stress by regulating cortisol levels, the body's primary stress hormone. Studies suggest it can reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality.
- Enhanced Energy Levels: This adaptogenic herb has been traditionally used to help with fatigue and energy, and is studied for that potential.
- Improved Immunity: Ashwagandha is studied for a possible effect on the immune system, including white blood cell count.
- Increased Libido: Studies indicate Ashwagandha's potential to enhance sexual function in both men and women.
