    This herb is said to do some magical things, ranging from libido support to mood support… What are your opinions on this herb?

    Its also been said to be good for adrenal fatigue in that it is an adaptation. Thoughts?

    Here is an interesting write up from the Sloan Kettering institute:

    I began taking Ashwagandha in October of ’08 at the recommendation of a local ND.
    At that time I had low Free T3 with optimal Free T4 and a TSH of .8. The ND told me
    that Ashwagangha could help the T4 to T3 conversion, as well as helping to give my
    adrenals a boost, as I tend to have low cortisol due to long term CFS. Upon retesting
    the thyroid after 6 months, my Free T3 had come up to a normal range. Good for me!
    I had read some awful stories about thyroid meds, on thyroid patient forums and was
    very glad to not have to go that route. 🙂

    Great news for you !!

    I can’t take Ashwagandha as it counter-acts with other essential medications I take.
