ABSTRACT
Ashwagandha, an herb popular in Ayurvedic medicine, is renowned for its health-enhancing properties. However, its association with liver damage in recent years has raised significant concerns, necessitating careful assessment and management. This case underscores the dangers of Ashwagandha, particularly for individuals with preexisting liver conditions, where it can lead to life-threatening acute-on-chronic liver failure. The lack of solid clinical evidence supporting Ashwagandha's health claims emphasizes the need for an evidence-based approach. Public education is essential to raise awareness of the risks associated with herbal supplements and prevent liver diseases.
