Aparagus (Shatavari)

Commonly referred to as ‘Shatavari’, Asparagus racemosus has been used medicinally for centuries in Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine. Shatavari means ‘she who possesses a hundred husbands’, referring to the tonic and rejuvenative effect of the herb on the female reproductive organs. Shatavari is the main Ayurvedic rejuvenative for the female—as is Ashwagandha (Withania) for the male, although both have some action on both sexes.
