Abstract Drug‐induced liver injury became one of the most important liver disorders and diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists. Here, we report a rare case of ashwagandha‐induced acute liver injury. The patient developed jaundice 2 weeks after starting ashwagandha intake and recovered within 5 months after withdrawal without any specific treatment.
