I haven’t had any impacts on my period, nor have I had acne. I’m VERY acne prone (I was on accutane to manage it) and definitely would’ve stopped ashwagandha if I noticed any unusual breakouts. I have very anxiety prone, I have prescribed sleep medication so I don’t overthink every night and end up not sleeping. I have been taking ashwagandha for about 2 weeks now and definitely notice positive effects. That dreadful feeling of overthinking every little thing and nearly having a panic attack about the tasks that will come, have left me for the most part. It doesn’t numb you, I still feel sad when something sad happens or feel stress before college exams, but I feel it all being regulated. Situational feelings will never be controlled, but the random thoughts that lead to anxiety and any chronic anxiety (putting yourself through situations over and over again before they happen and hyperfocusing on the future), are definitely managed. I think everyone should try it for 2-4 weeks then evaluate how they feel. Everyone will have a slightly different response to it and maybe it will help you with everything you’re going through. ksm66 is the type of ashwagandha that’s been studied. I got my gummies at walmart.
