Ashwagandha Root Organic [1 oz.]

Ashwagandha Root, with the Latin name of Withania somnifera, is a 5 foot tall
deep-green shrub that is in the solanaceae family. This plant family includes
such well-known vegetables as tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant, along with
flowers like petunias. Ashwagandha root has clusters of yellow flowers and
produces red fruit the size of a berry. The roots can reach eight to 12 inches
long, and this is the part of the plant that is primarily used as organic
herbs. Ashwagandha is a plant that is native to Africa, including Algeria,
Egypt, Chad, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Swaziland; Asia with reference to Lebanon, Syria,
Turkey, India; and Europe in terms of Greece, Italy and Spain. Withania
somnifera thrive in the warm climates of all of these countries. Our bulk herbs
suppliers for Ashwagandha root are from India. India has taken the lead in
cultivating different varieties of Ashwagandha root, selecting those with
larger roots and the ability to survive in less hospitable climates for
development. Although the root is the main part used of these herbs, the
berries, leaves, and fruit are sometimes used as well. **Should not be used
