It is a very good rejuvenating medicine . Without hesitation you can have that medicine in same dosage. Duration of intake is not mentioned in classics. But if you have it for a longer period it may not show same effect as earlier . Later more dose may needed to get the desired results.

Consult for guidance

Iin Ayurveda no medicine is recommended for long time. Take 15days. Than change alternative. Ashvgandha is hotsotake15 days.insmalldose

Namaste. Ashwagandha is a good herbal for your complaints.  It just depends on how you use. Take half spoon of ashwagandha,  mix it with 50ml of water and 50ml of milk. Boil and reduce it to half . And drink it once a day, in the night time 1 hour before bed for better results. Ashwagandha should not exceed dosage and also should not be used for long term as it is usna virya and can cause excess heat symptoms in you body. Thank you.

No, Ashwagandha is generally safe for long-term use when taken in the right dose (like ½ tsp in milk). It does not harm the liver and is well-tolerated. In fact, it supports stress relief, joint health, and sleep. Just ensure it's pure and from a trusted source. You can safely continue for 2–3 months, then take a short break before resuming.
