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, and Sri Lanka.
What’s In It For Me?
The use of Ashwaganda in Ayurvedic medicine extends back 3000 to 4000 years to the teachings of an esteemed rishi (sage). In Ayurveda, Ashwaganda is considered herb that works on a nonspecific basis to increase overall health and longevity. Fruits, leaves and seeds of the plant have been traditionally used for the Ayurvedic system as aphrodisiacs, diuretics and for treating memory loss.
The roots and berries of the plant are used in herbal medicine for sexual vitality as well. Some herbalists refer to Ashwaganda as Indian ginseng, since it is used in ayurvedic medicine in a way similar to that ginseng is used in traditional Chinese medicine.
