    Side effects of Ashwagandha for digestive health as per Ayurveda

    Glory LawaniBy Glory LawaniJanuary 8, 2022No Comments6 Mins Read

    Health, according to the World Health Organization, is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”.[1] A variety of definitions have been used for different purposes over time. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise and adequate sleep,[2] and by reducing or avoiding unhealthful activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, while others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders.

    Now Read Carefully details

    When it comes to ashwagandha, it is important to consume it in moderation. Otherwise, you will end up having digestive issues.

    With the new year 2022, the new Covid-19 variant Omicron has brought back the fear too. Amid a sharp uptick in Omicron cases across the country, getting fully vaccinated and boosting the efficacy of the body’s immune system are some of our primary defense systems against the virus. But people are also turning to old and gold techniques of Ayurveda to boost health and immunity  The universe of Ayurveda revolves around the whole range of herbs that are therapeutic in nature. One such herb is Ashwagandha, also known as Winter cherry or Indian ginseng.
    It is one of the most important herbs of Ayurveda.

    What makes ashwagandha so special? Let’s find out!

    Ashwagandha is a popular Ayurvedic plant for boosting energy and lowering stress. Its powerful capacity to heal depleted tissues, frazzled nerves, and low sexual energy, makes it a rejuvenating treatment. It is also used for arthritis, anxiety, bipolar disorder, insomnia, tumours, tuberculosis, asthma, a skin condition marked by white patchiness (leukoderma), backache, menstrual problems, hiccups, chronic liver disease and help to reduce levels of fat and sugar in the blood, says Vaidya Shakuntala Devi, an Ayurveda expert.

    But like they say, overdoing anything is a bad idea, it’s the same with ashwagandha. Consuming it in moderate quantities is beneficial but the moment you go overboard, you will expose yourself to side effects.

    And did you know that Ashwagandha can mess with your agni or digestive fire if not taken in the right quantity? Well, that’s true ladies.

    Let’s understand how ashwagandha can mess with the digestive system

    Ashwagandha is used for several medicinal uses. The Ministry of AYUSH, in fact, recently commissioned a study to understand this herb’s likely role in Covid-19 recovery.

    While we may know a lot about ashwagandha and its benefits, but we can’t say the same of its adverse effects.

    Shakuntala Devi tells us, “The plant’s roots have traditionally been utilised for medicinal purposes. These roots are starchy, dense, heavy, and oily, and they’re notorious for being tough to digest. People who have a low digestive fire or Agni should avoid this plant or take the proper dosage.”

    Most people readily tolerate small-to-medium doses of Ashwagandha, but large amounts of this herb, on the other hand, might cause:

    • Stomach distress
    • Diarrhoea
    • Nausea
    • Vomiting

    And all this may be caused by inflammation of the intestinal mucosa.

    “According to Ayurveda, ashwagandha must be utilised with caution, especially in cases of increased pitta. If not taken in moderation, it can cause many ailments in the body including piles, acidity and many more,” adds Shakuntala Devi.

    Last words

    Generally, Ashwagandha is considered safe for most. But now you know that it is not entirely free of side effects. People with ulcers also should not take ashwagandha alone. In fact, it is also recommended to avoid its consumption during pregnancy as its spasmolytic activity on the uterus and its ability to induce abortions in humans when given in huge quantities, says Shakuntala Devi.

    To avoid any negative effects, it is usually recommended to ingest ashwagandha under the supervision of Ayurveda experts.
