Can You Take Ashwagandha and Lemon Balm Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Lemon Balm may inhibit TSH binding and reduce thyroid activity, while Ashwagandha may stimulate thyroid function. These opposing thyroid effects may cancel each other out.

How to arrange timing

Consider whether your goal is thyroid stimulation or calming before combining these herbs.
