Article Synopsis
- Ashwagandha root extract (ARE) is a traditional herbal supplement used in Ayurvedic medicine but has been linked to thyrotoxicosis, a condition related to excessive thyroid hormones.
- A case study describes a 73-year-old woman who developed symptoms of hyperthyroidism after using ARE for two years to treat hypothyroidism, presenting with supraventricular tachycardia and low TSH levels.
- Upon stopping the supplement, the woman's symptoms improved significantly, highlighting the need for increased awareness of this rare side effect associated with Ashwagandha.
