What can I expect from this?

>A Sri Lankan study on rats

Next a study on snakes from the university of Mogadishu Somalia

Ah, they seem to have forgotten something.
Ashwagandha makes all external stressors blunted.
Those rats were so fucking chill that not even horny rats who put the pussy right in their face could make them budge.
It works, the problem is that you don't want to fuck and you don't care.

Did they feed the rats something to kick start their sexual drive on top of that or did they use the ashwaganda by itself?

I used it 5 times over 2.5-3 weeks and it fucked my thyroid big time. I didn't even go higher than the reccomended dose, either, 4 of the times I took a dose lower than the recommended.

would not reccomend at all. it just makes you lazy as fuck, it didn't help me sleep or relax, it just made me lazy and fucked my thyroid.

>fucked my thyroid

How?

I've been using it for a while. It's definitely noticeable, feel less stressed mostly. Make sure you have the concentrated shit like KSM-66, normal Ashwaganda doesn't do shit.

How high do you guys dose it?

I've been taking a half dose while cutting my Paxil in half. That along with CBD oil seems to be keeping me in check. I'm gonna cut to a quarter dose of Paxil soon and up the Ashwagamdha. I'm scared bros, pray for me.

This is an herb used all the time in Indian/Ayurvedic medicine. It has thousands of years of recorded usage across millions of people. Sure, you can discount "shitskin herbal bullshit" or ignore everything because they sometimes use vague terms like "support life energy", but Ayurveda is not kidding around. It's a legit collection of practices that are good for health and have been used for pretty much all of recorded history.

(Yes, I practice a bit of Ayurveda and have studied it. Also a yoga instructor.)

What other things are we missing out from Ayurvedic medicine that we could easily be doing?

2nding this

Seems to make workouts a little easier. Also gives me bad gas.

I also suggest adding yohimbine to ashwaganda.
It will well let's just say, make things interesting.

Lots of stuff, I'm sure. They drink milk like it's going out of style. But I'm sure there exist diet plans and herbal supplement plans for Indian athletes and warriors. Definitely Ashwagandha. I've also seen Shatavari mentioned.

Ayurveda is based on the idea of different "levels" of energy, body types, etc. called doshas. It's very much like the ecto/meso/endomorph idea. Kapha is heavy, wet, cool, big. Pitta is hot, dry, burning. Vata is dry, active, blowing. Basically water, fire, wind. And they are always combined; you'll never find a 100% kapha person, for example. I myself am 50% pitta, 37% vata, and 13% kapha. So this is my prakriti, my doshic balance, and I should eat and exercise based on it. You can then have imbalances on top of that. For example, I live in a cold and wet climate, so my kapha is currently elevated.

So you figure out your doshas (you can take online quizzes; I used the one from Banyan Botanicals, which is a legit place in the States for Ayurveda) and then plan for that, taking into account any current imbalances. The quiz I took gives lifestyle and diet recommendations at the end, so those can be a good start for you.

I see Ayurveda as just another model of the human body. And it's got some good insights. And a lot of the herbs and foods used (spices are used for specific things, doshic imbalances, etc.) are completely legit and have been proven by modern chemistry and medical science.

See my "lots of stuff" reply.

Some sources that I've personally used and trust:

amazon com/Prakriti-Ayurvedic-Constitution-Revised-Enlarged/dp/0965620832
amazon com/Ayurveda-Science-Healing-Practical-Guide/dp/0914955004
amazon com/Yoga-Ayurveda-Self-Realization-David-Frawley/dp/0914955810
amazon com/Textbook-Ayurveda-Vol-Fundamental-Principles/dp/1883725070

These three authors--Lad, Svoboda, and Frawley--are probably the most senior and accessible Ayurveda instructors in the U.S.

Good, high-quality Ayurvedic supplements.

If you've read the above books and are interested and want to know more, here's the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque. They also have distance learning options, recorded lectures, etc. The fourth book listed above is their level 1 textbook for their courses.

I hope someone finds this helpful.

Thank you good, sir. I'm gonna save it and never look at it again... probably

It will be there when you need it. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

An interesting little article, and it's correct.

What dose do you guys take?

The Banyan Botanicals Ashwagandha tablets are 500mg each, and they say "1-2, once or twice daily". So, 1g to 2g/day, split into two doses.

(I'm not getting paid for shilling. I just know they make good products and I've used them before.)

300mg of ksm66 twice a day
