@harshavmb @HemantIITDHN @FanPatanjali @hyderabaddoctor @theliverdr I have never used herbal stuff however, LiverDoc's anecdotes aren't really data. LiverDoc takes a 1 in a million adverse effect for herbal stuff & declares the stuff toxic https://t.co/AqF22P1u7L Here is a safety/toxicity study on Ashwaganda (W. Somnifera). https://t.co/IJjLD1cchS

@harshavmb @HemantIITDHN @FanPatanjali @hyderabaddoctor @theliverdr Nothing is completely safe - not even Crocin. If we were to throw away all pharmaceuticals because of some rare adverse effect we would have no pharmaceuticals left. Never taken Ashwaganda but basic search seems to indicate that it's pretty safe. https://t.co/AqF22P1u7L https://t.co/7sb0eg1mLp
