Is it safe to take ashwagandha supplements before getting a rhinoplasty?

October 4, 2022
Asked By:sweet_lavendar in Seattle, Washington

I am considering a rhinoplasty in the next few months. I have a very stressful job and lifestyle so I take Ashwagandha supplements sometimes (not regularly). Would I have to completely stop taking these before the surgery OR can i reduce the quantity to 1 capsule (500mg) per week and still be OK.
