Doctor warns of risks linked to excessive Ashwagandha use for stress and anxiety

As growing numbers of South Africans turn to Ashwagandha to cope with stress, anxiety, unemployment and other life pressures, medical doctor Lethukwenama Letsoalo has warned that excessive use of the popular herbal supplement could pose serious health risks. While the product is widely praised for its calming effects and ability to reduce stress-related symptoms, Letsoalo cautions that overuse may lead to liver damage and could be harmful to pregnant and breastfeeding women. She has called for greater public awareness and stronger regulation of the supplement amid concerns about the limited research available on its long-term effects.
