Considerations & Safety:

• Autoimmune conditions: Ashwagandha may stimulate the immune system, so individuals with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis should consult a doctor before using it.

• Thyroid conditions: Ashwagandha can affect thyroid function. It may increase thyroid hormone levels in some people, so individuals with hyperthyroidism or those on thyroid medication should use it cautiously and under medical supervision.

• Sedative effects: Since ashwagandha has a calming effect, it may enhance the sedative effects of other calming substances, such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or alcohol. Avoid combining it with these substances without medical guidance.

• Drug interactions: Ashwagandha may interact with medications that affect the immune system, sedatives, and blood pressure. Always consult a healthcare provider if you are on medications.
