The berries are used as a substitute for rennet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennet, to coagulate milk in cheese http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese making. *Ashwagandha* in Sanskrit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit means horse's smell, probably originating from the odor of its root which resembles that of sweaty horse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse. The species name *somnifera* means sleep-making in Latinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin, indicating that to it are attributed sedatinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedativeproperties, but it has been also used for sexual vitality and as an adaptogen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptogen.

Seven American and four Japanese firms have filed for grant of patents on formulations containing extracts of the herb Ashwagandhahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashwagandha. Fruits, leaves and seeds of the Indian medicinal plant *withania somnifera * have been traditionally used for the Ayurvedic system as aphrodisiacs, diuretics and for treating memory loss. The Japanese patent applications are related to the use of the herb as a skin ointment and for promoting reproductive fertility. The U.S based company Natreon has also obtained a patent for an Ashwagandha extract. Another US establishment, the New England Deaconess Hospital, has taken a patent on an Ashwagandha formulation claimed to alleviate symptoms associated with arthritis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthritis.[2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashwagandha#cite_note-1 . The product called ashwagandha oil is a combination of ashwagandha with almond oil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almond_oil and rose waterhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_waterdesigned to be used as a facial toner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_toner, therefore should not be consumed. 2009/4/7 Suresh C.
