"Ashwagandha" translates to "horse-like smell", a reference to the smell of its roots. Various parts of this plant have been used in Ayurvedic #medicine for over 3000 years, in particular to treat skin conditions and as an adaptogen (to help the body cope with daily stress). Another interesting use is that the berries are a plant-based substitute for rennet in cheese-making. #ashwagandha #gooseberry #poisongooseberry #withania #wintercherry #medicinal #berry #herb #indianginseng #NewOnGT #unique

Hi, I have just got a few seeds and I want to try to grow this plant.. have you any advice about how to get it into a good plant? I see that it does well in a pot... Did you raise from seed?
