Re: Stopping Ashwagandha, need suggestions

Hi Hope, I've never taken this herb, but from what I've read its not a ginseng, but in fact a member of the same family of plants as tomatoes and potatoes.

I wonder if the dose you were taking was maybe too high??

It will be interesting to see Hv's response, as I have been looking at this herb for myself.

As for anti-inflamatories, I use tumeric it works well and quickly. I mix the powdered root with a spoon full of raw honey and eat it off the spoon.

As for adaptogens, I have been using the jiaogulan and the effects have been mild but helpful, I only use 1 tablespoon of the tea in 500mls of water per day.
