Ashvagandha and covid vaccine
I have been taking ashvagandha 250mg every night, it helps me manage my stress level and I sleep well after taking this herb. I also have hypothyroidism and ashvagandha is good for that too.
I'm planning to take covid vaccine (covishield) and want to know if it's ok to continue ashvagandha after taking the covid shot? If no how long do I have to wait before start taking this herb again?
