Hello,
I did read the discussion on Ashwagandha, I do think that this is an incredibly useful herb. When I take this in a combined tincture, I feel uplifted, calmer, brighter...however I am worried that it may adversely affect the thyroid, ie. where one develops Thyrotoxicosis, as I am convinced that I have swung between an over and underactive thyoid whilst on Ashwagandha. I may be completely wrong. Been taking ashwagandha for just over a month again, noticed more hair loss and palpatations.
Would schizandra berry not be be better/gentler herb for both adrenals and thyroid?
Can anyone help with this one?
Kind Regards

This is a reply to # 1,413,940Ashwagandha both supports the adrenals, which can help the thyroid, and it helps with T4 to T3 conversion. So I doubt if the ashwagandha is the problem.
As far as your listed symptoms they can have other causes outside thyroid dysfunction. Have you checked your basal body temperature to make sure you are hypo? Instructions can be found on the net.- Re: Ashwagandha #55171

HI there,
Thanks for replying.
I think that Ashwagandha is an excellent herb, having taken in tincture form. However I do find for me, that it does cause problems. I recently started taking this herb again, and have experienced some really strange symptoms, such as feeling hot, hair loss, palpatations also. HOwever it does help with my mood, and I feel calmer. Just a shame about other symptoms. When I stop taking Ashwagandha, symptoms stop. Which is why I was asking about schizandra as an alternative?- Re: Ashwagandha Hveragerthi

This is a reply to # 1,415,834I wonder if it is the ashwagandha you are reacting to or the alcohol from the tincture? Have you tried powdered ashwagandha?
Schisandra is one of my favorite adaptogens, but it will not do as much for the thyroid as ashwagandha, though it will help some.

This is a reply to # 1,413,940are you still taking ashwagandha? did you find anything else to help!
i started taking it a week ago and my anxiety has reduced. also i am gaining muscle strength and energy!
however i am having the same problems as you. my hair has started to fall out. i am afraid to continue to use it! it is such a shame because it had some wondeful positive effects.
i have borderline thyroid problems with goitre, although the doctors have given me conflicting diagnoses of hypo and hyper!
many thanx
