Thank you for this episode. The information was very helpful. I also loved seeing Rosalee's summertime garden as here the snow is covering the ground, the sky is gray, and the temperature is icy. Seeing those sunny blossoms and hearing the birds twitter was, in itself, a perfect anti-stress remedy. 😊🌻
Rosalee, are there any uses for the aerial parts of the plant and/or berries? Have you ever heard of using the whole plant? Thanks! Thanks for all the educational materials you put out. It is really valuable. 🙏❤️
Hi, thank you for the kind message! There are some stories about using the leaves and roots, but I have no experience using the leaves. Cheers, Karin Rose
Thank you for your question! It’s wonderful that you’re exploring how herbs like ashwagandha might support your health. When it comes to conditions like Hashimoto’s, herbalism approaches things a bit differently than conventional medicine. Instead of treating a specific diagnosis, herbalism focuses on supporting the individual as a whole. This means that herbs are chosen based on your unique constitution, health history, lifestyle, and current needs-not just the label of a condition. Because of this personalized approach, I’d highly recommend working with a skilled herbalist who can take the time to understand your situation fully and guide you in finding the most supportive herbs and strategies for your health. An herbalist can help tailor recommendations that are safe and effective for you as an individual. I hope this perspective is helpful as you continue your journey, and I wish you all the best as you explore ways to support your health naturally!
Thank you for your question! Ashwagandha is a wonderful herb with many benefits, and it’s great that you’re making your own medicine. When it comes to tinctures, the dosage can vary depending on several factors, including the ratio of herb to alcohol in your extract (for example, 1:2, 1:5, or something else entirely if you used the folk method) and your individual needs. Because of these variables, it’s difficult to give a precise recommendation without knowing more about your preparation. In general, commercially prepared ashwagandha tinctures often suggest doses ranging from 1-5 ml per day. However, I don’t personally have much experience with ashwagandha as a tincture, as it’s more commonly used as a powdered root or decoction in traditional practices. If you’re new to taking tinctures or unsure about your specific preparation, I recommend starting with a smaller amount, observing how it works for you, and adjusting as needed. Alternatively, working with an experienced herbalist can help you tailor the dosage more precisely to your situation. I hope this helps, and I’d love to hear how your journey with ashwagandha unfolds!

@HerbsWithRosalee thank you for answering my question. I will look for someone.
Such good information; thanks for sharing. I shall consult your book to review this herb. 🤗🇨🇦🌲
Is there a use for the aerial parts of Ashwaganda including the berries?
Just saw that you answered this question already, thank you!!
I recently made an alcohol extract with dried ashwagandha, how many ml would you recommend taking per day ?

Yes I use it along with melatonine for sleep. No side effects for me.
I get a bad reaction from Ashwaganda. Unfortunately can’t take it.
Happy newyear Rosalie!
