Ashwagandha comes in many names. Some people know it as the Indian Ginseng. Others know it as the Winter Cherry. Yet others, especially in India, know it is Ajagadha with some, in a bid to beat ambiguity, opting to refer to it as Withania somnifera; as the latter is its scientific name in the taxonomic system.
As a plant, Ashwagandha is very similar to the tomato, and in fact, they belong to the same family, that being the family of plants known as solanaceae. The fruit born of the Ashwagandha tree is in fact quite similar to the tomato fruit we use in our kitchens, with minor differences in shape and size (so that the fruit born of the Ashwagandha is more of a ‘proper berry’ than the tomato fruit). Unlike the typical tomato, the Ashwagandha shrub can grow to a much taller height – sometimes as tall as a human being of medium height, which is about 5 feet and 6 inches. The countries that make up the ‘greater India’ are the places where Ashwagandha grows best – these being, specifically, India, Pakistan and Nepal. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are other places where Ashwagandha grows well.
Now since time immemorial, it has been known, in the areas where Ashwagandha grows naturally, that it is not just an ordinary tree. It was very long ago discovered that Ashwagandha had some remarkable medicinal qualities, and it is these that formed the basis for its inclusion in most ancient medicine systems, like the Ayuverdic system which has subsequently found widespread popularity all over the world.
One of the most easily observable effects of Ashwagandha in the body is its sedating effect. Indeed, it is this that forms the basis for its scientific name, where the species name (somnifera) literally translates to ‘sedating.’ This sleep inducing quality comes in handy for the millions of people all over the world who are struggling with sleep disorders. Take note that unlike most claims attached to various herbal remedies, this sedating property attached to Ashwagandha is one that is well proven – to the point of it being included as part of the herb’s scientific name.
Ashwagandha has also been noted to have an aphrodisiac effect. In other words, Ashwagandha is a herb that can improve sexual function. This is important, because it means that people who have been struggling in their this particular area of life may find help in this herb, rather than having to resort to synthetic formulations that often come with a heavy cache of side effects. It helps too, that as an aphrodisiac, Ashwagandha is incomparably cheaper than most of these synthetic aphrodisiacs, yet more effective and vastly safer.
Ashwagandha has also shown some promise in the treatment of memory problems, especially those related to neuro-transmitter issues.
Used in concert with rose water and almond oil in a specialized (and already patented) combination, Ashwagandha has also shown some remarkable efficacy in the treatment of pain; especially the excruciating variety experienced by arthritis patients.
