  Introduction: Ashwagandha has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antibacterial properties. It has been demonstrated that parabens, which are used as preservatives in many food products, have negative effects. In addition, plant-based phytoparticles have been shown to exhibit nanomaterials with non-toxic, clean and environmentally friendly methods. This has attracted interest from researchers due to the outstanding properties of nanotechnology. Method: A total of 24 female albino rats were divided into four groups: The control group, the paraben group, the Ag-Nano group and the combination group. Blood samples were taken from each animal for WBC, Hb and hormonal tests at the end of the experiment. Results: Paraben preservatives significantly increased haemoglobin levels, but showed a nonsignificant decrease in .. Read More»
