Personalised medical care means attentive, thorough health services designed to support your unique health needs.
So many patients come to the clinic tired, low on energy, and looking for help to get better rest.
Recently, we have had several patients with low thyroid stimulating hormone levels tell me they take Ashwagandha to help them sleep. Intrigued, we did some research and learned that Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also known as winter cherry, is an evergreen shrub in the nightshade family that grows in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Ashwagandha is commonly used in the Ayurvedic practice of herbal medicine for its stress and anxiety-relieving effects.
Was Western medical science aware of these therapeutic effects? We needed to learn more.
As is often the case, we found there to be a significant body of scientific studies demonstrating the effectiveness of Ashwagandha in managing (drum roll here) THYROID!
Indeed, after implementing our recommended, personalized lifestyle changes and continuing their use of Ashwagandha, our patients’ blood work showed such marked improvements we were able to lower their daily synthroid dosages.
Of course, not all therapies are applicable to every patient, and we only offer medical advice in the context of a professional, clinical consultation based on getting to know our patients deeply following a thorough evaluation of their detailed, health and medical histories.
