Ashwagandha (Winter Cherry) Herb Review

Ashwagandha is sometimes also known as Indian ginseng, Ashvagandha, Winter cherry, Ajagandha, Kanaje Hindi and Samm Al Ferakh and comes from the Solanaceae or nightshade family.

From the image above you can see that it the fruit of it looks like a tomato. The shrub itself can reach as high as 6' or 170cm and is often found in Bangladish, India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Medically, Ashwagandha is seen as being a "rasayana" herb which is a herb that works non-specifically to increase a person's wellbeing. It is both the root and the berry that is used in herbal medicine.

But where does the name come from? Well in Sanskrit it means "horse's smell" - not a great name and probably wouldn't help it sell in the supermarket! But the name is totally accurate as it does smell like a sweaty horse.

Quite paradoxically it has been used as a sedative as well as to increase sexual vitality and erectile disfunction.

Flaxseed Oil Benefits and Information

All About Flaxseed

There are basically two types of flaxseed - brown and golden (yellow). The component that many people buy brown flaxseed for are its omega-3 fatty acids. Although it is important to note that the golden flax is actually low in omega-3 fatty acids.

Flax is also used to create vegetable oil / linseed oil and has been used commercially for hundreds of years.

There have been some studies that taking flaxseed as part of a diet may help some individuals with certain types of breast cancer (see notes at the bottom).

There has also been some talk of talking flaxseed to aid fertility.
