Ashwagandha Root in the Treatment of Non-Classical Adrenal Hyperplasia

The document discussed the use of Ashwagandha root in treating non-classical adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH), presenting a case where a 57-year-old woman showed significant biochemical improvements and reduced scalp hair loss after 6 months of self-treatment. Her serum levels of various adrenal hormones decreased significantly, and she experienced no adverse effects. The findings suggested that Ashwagandha could be a potential alternative treatment for NCAH, offering a natural option with fewer side effects compared to conventional therapies. However, the document emphasized the need for further research, including randomized double-blind control trials, to confirm these findings and establish standardized treatment protocols.
