In Ayurveda, Shatavari is traditionally used by women for
overall health and vitality, to promote lactation, and as an
aphrodisiac. In Sanskrit, the word Shatavari means ‘She who
possesses 100 husbands’.

The Science of Shatavari
Recent research supports the
traditional classification of Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) as
a Rasayana, a dietary supplement or practice promoting
rejuvenation, mental and physical health, as well as providing a
defense against premature aging and challenging environmental
factors. Shatavari has the general ability to promote normal
physical functions and counteract the adverse effects of stress.
In eight different stress tests, Shatavari produced significant
anti-stress and immuno-stimulant effects.1 Studies have also
shown that Shatavari increases the quantity of breast milk2 and
possesses liver-protectant activity.3

Dosha Guide
In Ayurveda
there are seven basic body constitutions resulting from the
predominance of one or more energetic influences or Doshas. The
Doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, influence physical, mental and
spiritual health. Everyone is considered to be a unique
combination of these three body influences. Your natural Doshic
state of balance is called Prakruti. In traditional use,
Shatavari’s cooling properties control disturbances in Vata and
Pitta body constitutions.
