Ashwagandha is a Solanum native to the drier regions of India, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This plant has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for at least 3000 years. It is an adaptogen that helps you adapt to stress, build your immune system, and beat insomnia. Herbalist friends - how and why do you use this plant? Its berries are used as a substitute for rennet in cheesemaking! I’m growing about 50 plants for its medicinal root and for its seeds. Thanks @yosi_sweetpotato and @atticapothecary_ for the seeds. #adaptogen #ashwagandha #withaniasomnifera #indianginseng #plantmedicine #herbalmedicine #ayurveda #solanaceae (at Delaware County, Pennsylvania)
