Healing Benefits of Shatavari
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is perhaps the most important herb for women in the Ayurvedic herbal apothecary.
The word shatavari means “a woman with one thousand husbands,” hinting at the traditional use of this herb to support and tonify the female reproductive system.
Shatavari has long been used to support women at the end of menses by encouraging circulation, as well as healthy nervous system and hormonal function.*
As an overall reproductive tonic, Shatavari is relied on heavily for all stages of a woman’s reproductive cycle, beginning with the menarche (start of menses), supporting the female system through menses, ovulation and fertility, and the hot flashes, irritability, irregular memory and dryness during menopause.
Shatavari also builds ojas, our core vitality and the essence of immunity, vitality, virility, and sleep.*
