Hi from Australia Jay
You may have already tried this as part of your treatment plan but ... I
have just finished 2 assignments, one a monograph and the other on specific
constituents of the most wonderful herb -- Withania somnifera L. Dunal
(Ashwagandha).
I used the review paper on the web address below to access some great
research papers.

Lakshmi-Chandra Mishra, MD (Ayur), PhD, Betsy B. Singh, PhD, Simon Dagenais,
BA; “Scientific Basis for the Therapeutic Use of Withania somnifera
(Ashwagandha): A Review”; (Altern Med Rev 2000;5(4) 334-346);
www.thorne.com/altmedrev/.fulltext/5/4/334.html
