Name: Ashwagandha

Other Names: Indian ginseng, Withania somnifera, Ajagandha, Kanaj, Winter cherry

Description: Ashwagandha also known as Indian ginseng, Winter cherry, Ajagandha, Kanaj or Withania somnifera is a plant in Solanaceae or nightshade family. It grows as a stout shrub that reaches a height of 170cm. Like the tomato which belongs to the same family, Ashwagandha bears yellow flowers and red fruit, though its fruit is berry-like in size and shape. Ashwagandha grows prolifically in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In Ayurveda Ashwaganda is considered a Rasayana herb, a herb that works on a nonspecific basis to increase health and longevity. This herb is also considered an adaptogen which is a nontoxic herb that works on a nonspecific basis to normalize physiological function, working on the HPA axis and the neuroendocrine system. The roots and berries of the plant are used in herbal medicine. In Ayurveda, the fresh roots are sometimes boiled in milk, prior to drying, in order to leach out undesirable constituents. The berries are used as a substitute for rennet,to coagulate milk in cheese making.
