PROFESSIONAL FAQS: IS ASHWAGANDHA BAD FOR HEART PATIENTS?
Expert opinion from Cate F Keen

Ashwagandha is not bad for individuals with heart problems. It has shown to help increase circulation, lower blood pressure and reduce stress on the heart when taken as part of a regular health regime. If a heart patient is taking heart medication it is best to avoid until consulted with their Physician. Because ashwagandha may help to lower blood pressure, it may interfere with the activity of the medication.

Ashwagandha can help reduce the cortisol levels within the body thus resulting in lower blood pressure, less stress and overall makes the consumer more relaxed. This herb isn't necessarily bad for your heart but it can slow down your heart rate upon consumption. This herb, just like with anything that we consume should be taken in moderation to avoid any potential harmful side-effects.
