Hello!!
Your case of anxiety & overthinking, better with medicines but relapses on stopping.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a well-known Medhya Rasayana (nervine tonic) and adaptogen used in anxiety, stress, and sleep disturbances.
It generally has a warming, strengthening effect (balya and vatashamaka), but in some individuals, it can create imbalance depending on prakriti (constitution), dose, or digestion (agni).
Why cold hands/feet may occur after Ashwagandha:
Improper digestion of the capsule formation of ama (toxic byproducts) which can block circulation.
Excess dose for your constitution Sometimes Ashwagandha can slightly lower blood pressure or cause circulation changes.
Your body type
If you have more Kapha or sluggish metabolism, Ashwagandha’s heavy (guru) nature may not suit you in large amounts.
My suggestions:
See or consult online, with a good Ayurveda doctor for medicine tapering or alterations.
Practice Pranayama (Nadi Shodhana, Bhramari) daily.
Maintain a regular sleep-wake cycle.
Avoid excessive caffeine and late-night screen time.
If severe anxiety persists starting medication under a physician's guidance can help.
Next Steps
Always tailor medicines to your constitution, not just symptoms, under a physician's guidance.
Health Tips
All the best!! 🙂👍.
