Yea, the warning is the pharma companies don't want you using this as it might affect their profit. It is sad that I can not take these reports at face value because of how corrupt, greedy, and broken the system is.

My doctor, who's Indian told me to start taking it, and I love it. It has helped me greatly with anxiety & mild to moderate depression 🙃

My moms a pharmacist in America and she’s been taking this for her body pains for the past 10 years. It works 🤷🏾‍♂️, and I trust her more than the news when it comes to medicine.

I've used ashwaganda for 20 years off and on, I've had no side effects, no weird feelings, it has helped my cortisol and very stressful seasons in my life.

“Ya warning we’ve found a cure for mental illness we don’t want you taking it”

[Enidscake]

I took this for a few years, took my hot flushes away during menapause, stopped sugar cravings, helped with sleep.

[Prettybadhaitian]

I’ve been taking it for the past month or two and I’ve noticed major improvement in my mental health. Less stress less fatigue and your more focused on what you want to do

😅😅😅😅have you listened to the list of side effects on the many drug commercials we are forced to watch??? This is 100% drug companies worried about people healing themselves. If it doesn’t make them money, it doesn’t work.

I've been taking it daily for almost a year now and I've been very happy with it. I can still feel stressed and anxious but it is a lot easier for me to control my emotions and not feel overwhelmed.

This stuff works! It's been used for thousands of years in East Indian medicine. I personally work in an emergency dept for both adults and pediatrics and see the most horrific things such as car accidents, stabbings, gun shot wounds, burns, freak accidents, pandemic crap, people being violent, homelessness, drug issues/overdoses and the list goes on and on but if it wasn't for the Ashwagandha, I would broken down many years ago. Night and day in my stress levels if i don't take this magical herb. Much better than pharmaceuticals in my opinion and I work in pharmacy!

[andrewnguyen]

Don't take ashwaghanda for stress guys, there's not enough side effects. Take anti depressants or whatever drug name you can't pronounce prescribed by your doctor:)

[eresparami]

We didn’t know enough about the Covid shot, yet everyone was ok with forcing it on people.

[rosemarygarcia]

Low key feel like they don’t want us to take them cuz they know how they help with mental health and other things.

[BlueLionAstrology]

Unfortunately this means the price of Ashwagandha is about to skyrocket.

[seriousbroski]

I started taking this for my depression. It helped me lose the extra weight I put on. I was able to think before reacting and I feel nothing. Like I do but I am able to handle my emotions now and think logically. Take it!!!

[camx]

Pharmaceuticals completely ruined my life. My original issue was bad anxiety. I ended being prescribed all sorts of things I didn't need, went to the hospital a few times for mental health crisis, gained over 30 lbs. ALL I ORIGINALLY HAD WAS ANXIETY. Herbs and other natural options saved me.

[newgenerationtechnology]

Anything that heals or helps people that doesn’t come with a prescription it’s always a problem

[sadusattack]

Yes, speak to a "professional" who is being paid by the pharmaceutical companies to push certain medications on you. If you're ever in a psychiatrist's office, have a look around. You'll see things like free coffee mugs or pens, etc. from a particular medication(s).

[SchimdAlessio]

I remember several years ago heroin addiction destroyed my life, I suffered from severe depression and a mental disorder until I was recommended to psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

[jovanieramos]

This is better than any psych medication out there
