ASHWAGANDHA Avoid nightshade plants as they are high in oxalates and harmful to PKD. This is an Ayurvedic herb. Some of these herbs can cause kidney and liver lesions. Ashwagandha as a member of the nightshade family, includes tomatoes but, unlike the tomato, the quarter-inch, orange-red fruits of this herb are not the focus of its beneficial properties, rather it comes from the plant roots. This is the same as the poha berry only just the concentrated root is used.
