Ashwaganda is native to Asia. Its Sanskrit name “Ashwagandha” means “smell of the horse,” referring both to the herb’s scent and its potential ability to increase strength. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine as an anti-stress agent, aphrodisiac, for impotence and infertility treatment. The major chemical constituents of the Withania genus are naturally occurring steroids withanolides.

Indian Winter Cherry may be beneficial for schizophrenia, chronic stress, insomnia, anxiety, memory/cognitive enhancement, obsessive-compulsive disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, type-2 diabetes, infertility, as a growth promoter activity in children, and reduction of fatigue.
