Syed. Yes, Ashwagandha is a Rasayana herb which has no side effects. You may take it to boost your immunity and your performance. This herb is hot in nature, so if you live in hot region, take the minimum dosage. Four times a week. Buy it's tincture from a homeopathic store. It is known as Withania Somnifera. Take 4 to 5 drops in a glass of water. Or take Ashwagandha capsules. one capsule on alternate days. Other herb is Schisandra. You may take 4 to 5 berries everyday or it's capsule. This herb is easily available online. Very effective herb, with no side effects.
And, there exists no herb to increase the penis size. Herbs can help you to build up your immunity, improve the performance, and increase your stamina.

It is recommended that you take the tinctures of these two herbs.

Hello Akanksha,
Red Sandalwood is not a remedy for Diabetes. You can check the following link for remedies for Diabetes.
https://herbpathy.com/Herbal-Treatment-for-Diabetes-Cid55
Regarding Red Sandalwood powder mixed with honey for face, you may use it thrice a week. You can also try using fresh fruits on face daily as tomato, orange peel, papaya, banana, etc. I am using the same for myself too, and the results are good.

Dear Ramprasad Jyothi
Please mention why are you taking it. We suggest not mixing the ingredients together.
You can take Arjuna bark powder tea for 1 month in regular. It is very good for heart health. Adding tulsi or pudina, ginger will add to the effectiveness of the tea.
However, we do not suggest adding Red Sandalwood to the tea in much quantity. Add appropriate quantities of the herbs. Red Sandalwood is very effective for Kidney functioning. You can use leaves of Red Sandalwood to make a decoction or take both the teas on alternate days.
Also, Please mention why you want to take the herbs. Are you taking any medication?
Please consult your health care provider before taking any medication. Write back for further assistance.
