Traditional
Ayurvedic Uses
Shatavari is one of the most important of all herbs for female
reproductive health, and it especially improves the quality and
quantity of reproductive fluids in men and women (Shukra Dhatu).
It is also used to improve the quality and quantity of mother's
milk when breastfeeding. This herb is known to increase Sattwa,
or positivity and healing power. It also enhances the feelings
of spiritual love, and increases Ojas (that through which consciousness
enters the physiology).
Shatavari supports all the metabolic processes (Agnis) to create
good quality in all seven categories of bodily tissues (Dhatus).
Should be used with other herbs to avoid aggravation of any
congestion.
