Ashwagandha for Sleep + Ashwagandha Side Effects

Ashwagandha is one of the most revered herbs in the Ayurvedic tradition, and it’s easy to see why!  This amazing herb can be a wonderful ally if you’re struggling with sleep issues, anxiety, and stress – and even if you’re not.  It’s a wonderfully grounding and rejuvenative herb that, when taken at the right dose, can support your health in so many ways.  (However, it is worth noting that ashwagandha can have some side effects and isn’t for everyone - so be sure to tune in to learn about whether it’s the right herb for you!)

I love to work with ashwagandha, and one of my favorite recipes for it is my Ashwagandha Date Treats.  You can download a beautifully illustrated recipe card for these delicious treats here: https://bit.ly/4g2zIY9
