Ashwagandha use long term for blood pressure
After 15 days of taking 600mg / day my average blood pressure has reduced from 140/90 to 115/75. Seems fairly dramatic and very positive. In AMA #3 you recommend cycling off of Ashwagandha after 30 days. given the improvement of BP seen, would you still recommend cycling off? Also, is it fair to assume the primary reason for BP improvement is related to cortisol reduction? Finally, I have been hesitant to begin taking a statin if i can find other ways to manage it. Is there any evidence that managing blood pressure with a natural herb is any 'better' than taking a statin?
Adaptogens
Enjoyed your so much I joined premium. Some issues ashwagandha is a Nightshade and I can't do nightshade and chaga and lions main are blood thinners. Already have a family member who can't do that nightshades or blood thinner herbs and spices and supplements. Any other ideas? Who's that brain?
Aspirine and heart attack
In some countries it is recommended to take aspirin in unfortunate case of a heart attack. What is the best practice chew/swallow and dosage? Are there any good studies on the topic? There is a new drug on a market in Norway - Coxor in which the bottle cap is filled with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in powder form. By screwing on the cap, the powder falls into the container with the solvent.
