I'm currently taking 2 tablets of Himalaya ashwagandha every day based on my ayurveda doctor's advice as part of my workout routine. I've been dealing with a persistent itching throat and throat infections due to the Delhi atmosphere. I do steam inhalations twice a day for about 10 minutes and also gargle with salt water, which the doctor suggested. It helps but the symptoms come back after a few days. I'm wondering if it's safe to add giloy ghanvati to help with the throat issues? Would it interfere with the ashwagandha or create any kind of complication?

You can take 1-2 tablets of Giloy Ghanvati twice a day after meals. It is advisable to consult with your doctor or an Ayurvedic practitioner for the appropriate dosage based on your specific condition. Additionally, continue with your steam inhalation and salt water gargle as they are helpful in relieving symptoms.
