Is Ashwagandha Supplement Effective In The Treatment Of Arthritis?
i am researching ashwagandha. one article (not webmd) says it should not be taken by those with autoimmune disease. the webmd article says it can be used to treat fibromyalgia or arthritis. aren t both of those a form of autoimmune disease? so is ashwagandha safe for autoimmune or not? if not, why not?

Hello,
Ashwagandha can provide some symptomatic relief but it has got no proven evidence for its efficacy. It is better to consult a rheumatologist for better evaluation and proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
