> Have you tried Ashwagandha?
Please only take medical advice from medical professionals.
See excerpt below:
“Ashwagandha is an herbal remedy often categorized as an adaptogen, and it is sometimes recommended for MS-related fatigue. This compound does stimulate some cells in the immune system, so it poses a theoretical risk in MS.”

- jasfi 4y agoThanks for finding that! Even a theoretical risk needs to be underlined. It's interesting that the same article notes that exercise also stimulates the immune system and that the risk really is theoretical at this point. But good to note it.
- alberth 4y agoI have a family member with MS and it’s completely debilitated them. I completely empathize and totally get why alternative treatments should be investigated. It’s just a super tricky problem because everyone experiences MS differently and it’s non reversible nature makes it super scary. I too wish modern medical could better help. So maybe Ashwagandha is it, just please have that conversations with your doctor.
