Ashwaghanda- can anyone tell me more/

[user27357]

Ashwagandha is actually recommended by my health insurance company for lots of things, I am using it mostly to settle an irritable and damaged digestive system but see lots of applications. Can anyone tell me about their experiences with it?

I know it is common in India, and I have a friend from there. i asked him and he told me what he knows, then surprised me with 2 bottles that came directly from a major supplier in India, hand-delivered by his sister in law who was there when i asked.

It is a powder, I mix my dose in water and drink it right before bed.

So far, I think it is helping digestion and possibly sleep but I am only a month into using it daily Currently i am working 50 plus hours a week so no time for restaurant food that sometimes gets my gut churning and so tired I would be sleeping well anyway, I really can't say if it is working or not working.

I am south asian/indian.. I have been taking ashwagandha and still Do. It calms me down.I Also try bacopa monieri.
Ayurvedic stuff have been helpful.

I used it for two months.. It's a common epigenetic in India.

Use for two months max and then stop for 2 months. 1 tablet a day is helpful. It may help with digestion, anxiety and especially stress. The great benefits are that it's long lasting, I was told by an Indian ayervedic practitioner that it permentatly changes the genes for the better.

Don't expect miracles but it does help a little.
