I've been thinking about using ashwagandha, shatavari, kaunch beej, and safed musli powder as supplements, but I'm worried about how safe they are for my liver and kidneys if I take them for a long time. I'm 24, male, and unmarried. Could you let me know if it's safe and how I should take them?

As a 24-year-old male, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Kaunch Beej, and Safed Musli powder are generally considered safe for kidneys and liver in moderation; to use them long-term, consult an Ayurvedic expert for personalized guidance, but a common approach is to cycle them for 3-4 months, followed by a 1-2 month break, and start with a small dose (12 teaspoon) twice a day, mixed with milk or water, and gradually increase as needed and under expert supervision.

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?
Yes, you can take Giloy Ghanvati for your seasonal throat infection. It is known for its immunomodulatory properties and can help boost your immunity to fight off infections. 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.
