                                According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), ashwagandha is likely safe for short-term use, generally up to three months, but its long-term safety is not well-established. This raises a critical question for long-term users: should you take a break from ashwagandha to maintain its effectiveness and prevent potential side effects?
