Hi The properties of Ashwagandha are Laghu, Snigdha Guna Tikta, Katu, Madhura ras Madhura Vipaka Ushna veerya Thus taking Ashwagandha for long time use is not advisable as it is Ushna Veerya medicine
Next Steps
You may take it with gaps of regular intervals Roughly taking it for one month and having a gap of 15 days
Health Tips
Do regular exercise along with taking Ashwagandha.
