Suffering From CIDP. Is It Safe To Take Ashwagandha. Will There Be Any Side Effects?

Posted on Mon, 27 Aug 2012

Question: Hi,

I have a cidp, which is autoimune disorder, before it i used to take ashwagandha, it helped with sleepin, stress etc.... now I read in some places it is contraindicated with autoimune. Is that so, I did take it recently, but didn't notice any harm from it side. Can I start with smaller dose and see how it will work.

I would like to take it again since it hepls with stress and insomnia, but in onve place i alse read it is recommended for cidp. Like it can work like imunomodulator of so.. Ansd I neve had side effects. Unlike other allopatic pills.

Thank you

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

As per your query about usefulness of ashwagandha and is there any hazards or not?

I like to clarify that ashwagandha has no contraindication in immune system; however it is likely to improve immune system.

As you have experience of ashwagandha as usefulness in stress and sleep, and you feel well. As per ayurveda treatment, you can take it without any fear it never harms or not any contraindications for any auto immune conditions.

I like to advice also that there is no need to start with smaller dose. You can start as full dosage.

Hope this helps. Do write back for follow up queries that you may have.

Hello,

There is no particular ayurveda related website in my knowledge for specific CIDP / GBS condition, treatment and solution for that. Excuse me for that.
XXXXXXX ashwagandha and XXXXXXX XXXXXXX vat I is good remedy. Further XXXXXXX XXXXXXX vati is good for hypertension. You may continue that.

Hope this has been helpful. Let me know if you have any other concerns.
