Ashwagandha Side Effects
Ashwagandha is safe for consumption if you take the correct dosage. Though the effect of long-term consumption of this herb is not known, there have not been any cases of fatal or severe ashwagandha side effects. Large doses of ashwagandha might cause vomiting, diarrhoea, or upset stomach in some people. The side effects of the herb differ from one person to another. Talk to your healthcare specialist before consuming ashwagandha or its supplements. Some reported side effects include skin burning and discolouration, sedation, severe liver injury, thyrotoxicosis, and increased testosterone levels.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised not to take ashwagandha as there is evidence of the herb causing premature delivery and miscarriage. However, there is no study on the effect of ashwagandha on lactating women. However, to be on the safer side, refrain from taking it.

Ashwagandha is known to lower the blood sugar level, decrease blood pressure and alter thyroid hormone levels. However, these benefits might also pose a threat as ashwagandha can reduce the blood sugar level of a person whose blood sugar levels are normal, possibly leading to hypoglycemia in those on medication. It can also affect blood pressure and thyroid hormone level.

As ashwagandha causes the immune system to become more active, it could increase the symptoms of auto-immune diseases. In some people, ashwagandha can irritate the gastrointestinal tract. It is best to stop taking ashwagandha for at least two weeks before and after surgery as it may slow down the central nervous system. Consumption of alcohol, and drug-related sedation does not go well with ashwagandha.
