Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
As per your query about usefulness of ashwagandha and is there any hazards or not?
I like to clarify that ashwagandha has no contraindication in immune system; however it is likely to improve immune system.
As you have experience of ashwagandha as usefulness in stress and sleep, and you feel well. As per ayurveda treatment, you can take it without any fear it never harms or not any contraindications for any auto immune conditions.
I like to advice also that there is no need to start with smaller dose. You can start as full dosage.
Hope this helps. Do write back for follow up queries that you may have.
