Haven't tried it yet but I'm very interested in this plant. My wife got it prescribed by her doctor as one of many other plants. I think there is lots of potential in this so called Indian gingsen.

If I may ask why did you start using this plant ?

Also I was think about what you said using it with MJ buy it kind of defeat its purpouse (improving thinking ability and concetration power) does not it?

As to your question about ashwagandha I don't have much input... yet. I incorporate a lot of extracts and isolates with adaptogenic properties like maca, cat's claw and holy basil. A quick glance at ashwagandha makes me think its worth another look at for its anti-inflammatory properties alone, among it's other benefits. Thank you for the info, I will come back and post my thoughts after some personal exploration.
