Ashwagandha and pseudoscience
Why is it ashwagandha is marketed as a supplement rather than a medicine ,and is sold for the sake of looting and creating health issues while saying no side effects because it's a herb
why is it marketed that away i consumed it as a supplement for sleep and stress
and now my tsh is always bw 5-7
how long will it take for my tsh to return to baseline?
I've no history of any ailments.
all started after consuming this bullshit which is marketed in a very off way and is sold without prescription.

Firstly ashwagandha is neither responsible for increasing your TSH level ...and neither it's bullshit!!
Ashwagandha is an amazing medicine causing rejuvination and is antistress!
It has no relation with disturbing Thyroid!
Take a proper consultation and then you can come to a conclusion n

Great to note ur pain n concern tha ks for noticing it.
Even Ayurveda shares water also has adverse effects on body n metabolism so don't drag Ayurveda in to the matter...
Any way who advised you dose n duration or self medication who's certified it's purity who's responsible for it's adulteration...
What was intention to achieve n was you tested prior for the same?
Next Steps
We being Indian and understand the authority by Apta praman i.e. by traditional Guru or ur keens adv.
if u overtook the decision then you are the sole responsible for the same what you got it.
another why it's been sold n who approved it's nutritional-pharmacutical value you can sue respective department and seek compensation as well

If anybody takes any herbs on his own without doctor advice, then its his or her fault...
No one else...
Everybody must consult a doctor before taking any herb medication...

Consult any specialist near you for proper prescription and to clear all your doubts . and please never use any Ayurvedic herb without consulting a specialist.Every drug either Ayurvedic or modern has its effects and side effects.Never use any of them without consultation or on the basis of google knowledge patient do now a days . No specialist will tell you that Ayurvedic drugs don’t have side effects . It is a myth for Ayurvedic herbs and nothing else . Everything you consume in improper way have side effects even food . So please take any herbal medicine cautiously.
Next Steps
Consult a specialist nearby you for proper history and prescription.
