Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is described in Ayurveda as cooling and nourishing, used to support balance across a woman's life stages.
Traditional use
It is associated with hormonal balance, energy and reproductive wellness, and is taken as a daily tonic rather than an acute remedy.
How to take it
Once daily with warm milk or water. It pairs well with ashwagandha when stress is also part of the picture.
Reading the label
Look for the plant part used (root), an extract ratio or standardisation, and a manufacturing licence. Vague "proprietary blend" labelling tells you nothing about dose.
