Yes, Ashwagandha can cause itching, typically appears within hours or a few days of starting the supplement and can involve the face and body. When the liver is stressed, bile salts can build up in the bloodstream and deposit under the skin, causing intense, persistent itching. This usually develops after 2 to 12 weeks of consistent use. But it has added symptoms too like yellow eyes, urine and tiredness.High doses are more likely to trigger both allergic reactions and liver irritation. As you have not shared history regarding duration for how long have you been taking this incomplete history is not enough to find root cause. If you contact me online then I can treat and explain you more efficiently. If you were taking ashwagandha for sleep or anxiety or any other related issues I would recommend to contact so that I can help you out and advise proper line of treatment not just one syrup.
Next Steps
Stop taking the syrup immediately. If the itching is purely an allergy, it should subside within a few days of stopping.Before starting any new herbal medicine, wait until your current itching has completely stopped. This allows your body to reset and ensures any new reaction can be accurately tracked.
Health Tips
Instead of taking ashwagandha, you can go for alternatives like guduchi, brahmi, jatamansi.
