However, there are some exceptions and precautions:
1. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Ashwagandha is generally not recommended for pregnant or lactating women, as there is some evidence that it may cause miscarriage.
2. Autoimmune diseases: If you have an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or type 1 diabetes, you should consult a health care professional before taking ashwagandha, as it may stimulate the immune system.
3. Drug interactions: Ashwagandha may interact with certain medications, such as those for thyroid disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or anxiety. If you are taking medication, it is important to consult a healthcare provider before starting ashwagandha.
4. Surgery: Since Ashwagandha can affect the central nervous system, it is recommended to stop using Ashwagandha at least two weeks before a scheduled surgery.
Remember, it is always a good idea to talk with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, including ashwagandha. They can provide advice based on your individual health needs and potential risks.
