Ashwagandha is marketed as a safe, natural solution for stress, anxiety, low testosterone, and brain fog. But what if it’s not as harmless as you think? In this video, I explain why ashwagandha can act just like a psychiatric drug, altering brain chemistry and hormones in powerful ways.
I cover how ashwagandha affects neurotransmitters and the endocrine system, and how it can cause emotional blunting, mood instability, and persistent sexual dysfunction. I’ll also talk about a growing group of people reporting long-term damage from this supplement- something now being called “Ashwagandha Syndrome.”
