What Auntie Sunita says
Kerala, India · The Kerala Kitchen · Daily and Seasonal Rhythm
“Ashwagandha. Not hers, in any form. "I don't suggest it. It can trouble the liver, and never in pregnancy or with thyroid trouble." Instead: the kitchen and the day. A warm, calm supper, oil on the feet, warm milk, an early night, a walk with someone you like.”
“What she never offers. Sleeping pills, ashwagandha, herbal sleeping mixtures, or any change to someone's sleep medicine. Never stopping a sleeping pill because the evening routine feels good: that is for the GP, slowly.”
What Marty says

“If still anxious (Tier 2): Ashwagandha (KSM-66, cycle 8 weeks on/2 off), L-theanine, HRV training, cold exposure (vagus nerve), infrared sauna”
