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.
