Withania Somnifera, known in the Ayurvedic world as Ashwagandha, and commonly as Winter Cherry, is a herb known for its medicinal properties, which has made it famous as Indian Ginseng. Ashawgandha has been used for nearly 4000 years for medicinal purposes, since the whole plant, including its roots, berries and leaves have tremendous healing property.

The herb was sought after for its amazing rejuvenating properties that help in nourishment of the tissues. Ashwagandha is rich in methanol, diethyl ether, hexane, steroidals lactones and alkaloid which have been utilized well by the Ayurvedic and Unani medical professionals, who used it in many tonics and formulas to give strength to muscles, bones, adrenals and reproductive organs of human body. It is also considered to be a good aphrodisiac, though not in the class of ginseng.

Despite the fact that Ashwagandha was used in India for ages, the herb has been patented by Japanese for its use as a skin ointment and promotion of fertility, whereas the New England Deaconess Hospital of US has patented it for treating arthritis.
