Ashwagandha is recommended for use during periods of particularly high stress, rather than on a regular year-round basis, to manage short and medium-term stress.

“if you're going to take ashwagandha, I recommend not taking it for longer than a month-and-a-half as they did in this study. In fact, I would suggest that you only take ashwagandha around periods of moderate to extreme stress.”

“I'm not going to take ashwaganda year round I would only do this if I was feeling like I wasn't managing my short and medium-term stress well so I don't take it on a regular basis I do take it when I'm in these times when things are particularly stressful”
