Albacar and Ashwaganda-info?

Hillsboro, OH(Zone 6a)

Does anyone use these or have any info on them? I am about to look up info but thought I would post here for more practical info. The Albacar only says 'makes a great calming, soothing tea'. I don't remember what the Ashwaganda is for, but the seeds sprouted well last year and I had some left. LOL The Albacar came up quickly with the basil and the seed leaves look the same.
TIA

Well, you've spiked my interest! (I had assumed Albacar was a white automobile.)
I'm gonna do some checking in my books and call a local herbalist friend. Will be back in touch.
(By the way, if you are looking for a nice soothing tea I have some lemon balm seeds you're welcome to. You'd love it!)

Albacar is a Spanish word for basil. Ashwagandha is sometimes called ' Indian ginseng ', It is the primary strengthening tonic: used for everything from general weakness, rheumatism, insomnia, infertility, impotence and 'weakness of the mind'.

I did find the proper name I had in my notes from last year for Ashwaganda. I had Withania somniferum. I don't know whether to be thrilled about Albacar being basil or not, but it sure explains why the seed leaves look the same! LOL Thank you Penny. Hey Shoe, I have regular lemon balm but if you have any spotted or golden, we will have to talk! Oh and Albacar-white car-ROTFL!
