Botanical Name: Withania somnifera

Withania somnifera is a small shrub growing up to 1 meter high and 75cm wide. The ovate leaves are about 8cm by 5cm at the widest point, tapering to the end. The central vein is prominent and the sides of the leaf fold in slightly towards the centre. The pale green flowers are held in an olive green calyx which surrounds the berry/fruit when the flower falls away, as the berry ripens the calyx browns and shrivels revealing the red fruit. Both the stem and leaves have a downy, grey sheen produced by a covering of tiny hairs. The fruit is a bright red and the seeds are tiny and brown.

Withania is from the Solanaceae or nightshade family and is also known as Indian Ginseng, ashwagandha, poison gooseberry or winter cherry in Australia (not to be confused with Physallis alkekengi). The species name ‘somnifera’ means sleep-inducing in Latin. The alternative name ashwagandha is derived from Sanskrit, in particular ‘ashva’ meaning ‘horse’ and ‘gandha’ meaning ‘smell’. The root of the plant is said to have a strong horse-like smell, resulting in the name. Indian Ginseng is a name derived from Ayurvedic medicine, where the plant holds the same degree of prestige as ginseng does in China. The plant is thought to be native to the drier regions of India and Nepal, with cultivation occurring in India.

Growing Conditions

WIthania prefers to inhabit warm, sheltered places with a preference for full sun. Dappled shade, such as that found in lightly treed woodlands is tolerated, but complete shade is not suitable. In its natural environment, Withania grows in shallow, rocky ground and prefers moist but well-drained soil. As long as there is good water supply after seeding, the plant should do well with natural rain unless it is very hot. It will do well in poor soils and most soil types are tolerated quite well. In some temperate areas, this plant may grow as an annual, due to intolerance of frost. Seed germinates quickly in spring and the plant will flower and fruit within the growing season. Withania can be subject to several pests and diseases such as stem and root rot. However, overall it is considered quite easy to grow and in some areas of NSW and SA, it is an uncommon weed.

Medicinal Uses

Withania somnifera is not commonly known in Australia, but is held in high esteem by herbal medicine practitioners. Withania has many uses in traditional herbal medicine, Ayurvedic and African traditional medicine. It is said to work by calming the brain, lowering blood pressure, reducing pain and inflammation, and altering the immune system. It is also used as an adaptogen to help the body cope with the stresses of daily life, as a general tonic said to prevent the symptoms of aging and as an agent to help improve the ability to think more clearly. The seeds are said to be diuretic and hypnotic.

More specifically, the chemical constituents include alkaloids, steroidal lactones including tropine and cuscohygrine. The leaves contain steroidal lactones, but the long tuberous roots are also used for traditional medicine. Ayurvedic medicine uses the berries and leaves applied externally to tumours, tubercular glands, carbuncles and ulcers. The roots are used to prepare ashwagandha, which has been used for many purposes, including arthritis, backache, skin conditions, asthma, liver disease, anxiety, insomnia, menstrual problems and induction of abortion.

Several studies have supported claims that the plant does possess benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-stress, immunomodularatory, rejuvenating benefits and has a beneficial effect on the endocrine, CNS and cardiopulmonary systems. However, the mechanisms of action are not fully understood for this plant and scientific evidence is very limited.

This plant contains chemicals that interact with many medications, so caution should be exercised. People with autoimmune disorders may find that this plant may encourage immune activity. Therefore increased symptoms may result if they are also taking medications to moderate immune response related to their disorder. It also interacts with the thyroid hormone and may increase thyroid activity. If individuals are also taking a thyroid supplement, then hyperthyroid symptoms may develop during this period.

Up to two weeks prior to surgery ingestion of this plant should be avoided due to potential effects or dampening of the central nervous system. The chemicals in the plant may also induce drowsiness, so avoid when taking sedatives or other medications that cause sleepiness due to risk of excessive doses. This may include common medications like hay-fever remedies. It is possible that chemicals found in the plant may irritate the gastrointestinal system. Additionally, pregnant and breast feeding women should avoid ingesting any part of this plant.

Culinary Uses and Other Uses

Withania berries may be used as a substitute for rennet in cheese making. The fruit is also rich in saponins and may be used as a soap substitute. The leaves are also used as an insect repellent.

Ashwagandha powder and ashwagandha root can be used to brew tea and added to baking and smoothies.

So good!
Format: Kindle
Wings of Stars was a fantastic first book to a new series. It grabbed me in its clutches within the first chapter and kept ahold of me. This new world of M Sinclair and RL Caulder’s is all about angels and mythical creatures. It’s full of drama from all points. From Kieran’s awful home life to keeping the stars alive and everything in between. Kieran is our FMC and despite everything she keeps her spirit and defiance. Keeping to their norm, there is a group of guys for our FMC but they definitely aren’t established yet, and not fully cemented yet into being a group rather than her choosing between them. Ronan is so sweet and gives off Daddy vibes Gabe is also sweet and wants the best of everything for Kieran and will defend her against anyone Bastian is slightly unhinged but I loved him immediately Steele is a jerk… just as you find redeeming qualities, he screws up again… but yet I still want him to redeem himself. There’s another one… but if I gave his name I would be spoiling a plot twist so you will just have to find out yourself… but you’ll love him as much as I do. This is a slow burn but the little bit of spice we do get is hot, especially with the dirty talk.

Angels and the Fallen — Breathtaking Start
Format: Kindle
This book was EVERYTHING I expected it to be and more. Leave to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair to give us yet another amazing book! Kieran and her guys hooked me from the very beginning and did not let go. Found family is one of my favorite tropes and it was done so well in this book. Couple that along with an FMC trying to find her place in the world and I was practically drooling over this book. The world building, the conflict, the wyverin sidekick — it all was done so well that it felt fresh and real. Each love interest felt real and unique in their own ways. I felt connected to each one and like they were truly different people. I love that so much in a book and these two authors never miss with their love interests. Multi POV, Reverse harem, who did this to you, and a magical world highlighting the angels and the fallen. This book has everything and it does it so well. Big thank you to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair for the arc copy! I cannot wait for book 2!

A new take 🤔
Format: Kindle
I’m not going to go into what this book is about — by now you e already read the synopsis and have an idea — but I will give a couple of insights. Definitely a different take on angels and their fall; I like it. This is an interesting start to a new series - YES, this does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. I’m eager for the next book (and hopefully the last in this series — sometimes the author(s) will switch it up depending on how the story flows for them) in this series. I’m hoping that a certain male character redeems himself because he’s a dick that will make the meaning of mixed signals jealous lol. You ever watch that old movie — I think it’s call Mommy Dearest? — yea, let’s switch that up to daddy. That man would make a perfect husband to mommy dearest. I recommend this book because while these authors are well known for their cliffhangers, they are also well known for putting out good stories.

Liked it
Format: Kindle
I liked the worlds and the characters. The prophesy is confusing in that I would think, since all worlds ore on a path to destruction, the angels would want their world to be saved. I am sure there is more evil that will be revealed as the series proceeds. I dislike a prolonged “poor little me” trope and the main character has moved past that, thankfully, and began to show a fierce attitude as the novel progressed. The last portion of the novel had some great action. It’s worth reading, just be patient with a slow start.

Unexpectedly emotional and packed with action!
Format: Kindle
Why do I suddenly want nothing more than a tiny wyvern to snuggle with?! It’s adorable and I absolutely love all of those moments! Wings of Stars was everything I’ve come expect from this powerful author duo. The fact that it’s written by two different people is completely transparent to the reader and they’ve brought us another world and characters that we’re all emotionally connected to and fully invested in! The injustice that we see from Alfemir in the many forms in which it comes is infuriating and makes me desperate for the conclusion of the story so they can all get what’s coming to them! I love all the guys right now, with one exception, and if you’re read it, you know exactly who I’m talking about. Bastian is hilarious - he was the comedic relief through an otherwise quite serious story. My heart bleeds for him and I can’t wait to see how he progresses through the series. Parts of Wings of Stars were unexpectedly emotional and of course I was left with my jaw on the floor at that cliffhanger! Next, please!
