does ashwagandha cause hair loss - #23835
I am feeling really confused about ashwagandha lately. I started taking it about two months ago to help with stress and sleep issues, but I noticed some hair falling out more than usual! It’s freaking me out a bit because I always had thick hair, and now I’m wondering does ashwagandha cause hair loss? Some of my friends say it shouldn’t but then I read on various forums that some people do experience hair thinning from it. I’m not sure if it’s just coincidental or if ashwagandha actually has something to do with it. My mom's side has thin hair issues, so maybe it could just be in the genes, but it started around the time I introduced ashwagandha into my routine. Could there be any connection, or is it really just a myth? Any insights would help because I don’t want to give it up yet, but I also don’t want to lose my hair! Ugh, just feeling a bit desperate here!
