I have Focal Nodular Hyperplasia. Is it safe to take Ashwagandha?

Gretchen asked:


I’m dealing with menopause symptoms, like hot flashes and difficulty sleeping, and was told Ashwagandha supplements will help relieve symptoms. Is it okay to take this even though I have FNH? When initially diagnosed, I was told I wouldn’t be able to take hormone replacement therapy for menopause, not even a natural supplement like Black Cohosh. However, Ashwgandha seems to be in a different category and is touted as an anti-oxidant, among other things, so I’m hoping it is safe to use.
