After taking ashwagandha for a maximum of 30 days, a break of at least two to four weeks is recommended to avoid chronically buffering cortisol.

“Maybe it should be a warm mellow bath not an ice bath.”

“Ashwagandha has a pretty potent cortisol inhibiting tool. I personally don't use it very often and I caution people about using it for longer than two-week periods of time without taking some breaks.”

“So the limit seems to be about two weeks of regular use before you'd want to take a break of about two weeks.”

“it is important that with certain hormones like ashwagandha that you don't take them for more than two weeks at a time at high dosages”

“But then I would say after about 30 days maximum, I would take at least two to four weeks off. Two weeks is probably enough, but four weeks off because you don't want to chronically buffer cortisol.”

“ashwagandha which I think can potently reduce cortisol but I've heard some recommendations about cycling it”
