Ashwagandha
Seven American and four Japanese firms have filed for grant of patents on formulations containing extracts of the herb 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. StressEase is a balancing formula containing ashwagandha and other herbs for coping with stress and fatigue. It helps create reserves to deal with the stress of modern life.
Ayurvedic practice recommends Tulsi in several formulations to enhance immunity and metabolic functions as well as in the management of respiratory problems (Shwas -Kasa).
