Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine, has been valued for centuries for its ability to support the female reproductive system and aid digestion, particularly in cases of excess pitta. Also spelled "shatawari," its name translates to “having one hundred roots” and is often interpreted as “having one hundred husbands.” Traditionally revered as a rejuvenate tonic, shatavari has been used to help women navigate various life stages, including menopause and beyond. However, its benefits extend beyond gender and age, making it a valuable herb for anyone seeking overall well-being. With a strong commitment to sustainability, we ethically grow and harvest our Shatavari by partnering with small family farmers, aiming to preserve the communities and long-term well-being of the ecosystems and land of India. Our Shatavari is: Sustainably Sourced Fairly Traded Certified Organic Shatavari in Ayurvedic Practice In Ayurveda, shatavari is known for its ability to balance the pitta and vata doshas, though its heavy nature may increase kapha. With its bitter and sweet taste, shatavari has a cooling effect on the body. Its nourishing and grounding properties make it an excellent choice for those seeking support for overall stability and vitality. These qualities position shatavari as a powerful rasayana (rejuvenative) herb, particularly for the reproductive system. It is also widely recognized as a tonic for the digestive system and blood, especially in addressing conditions related to excess pitta. Why Tablets Instead of Capsules? One advantage of opting for herbal tablets instead of capsules is that tablets let you experience the taste of the herbs. According to Ayurveda, digestion starts in the mouth with the sense of taste, and since the digestive fire, or agni, is essential for health, the quality of our digestion directly impacts our overall well-being. Tasting your herbs, even briefly, enhances the interaction between your herbs and your body, fostering a deeper connection between the two. These Organic Shatavari Tablets are our way of making this valuable Ayurvedic supplement accessible, convenient, and easy to take. *Please consult your healthcare practitioner if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition, or if you experience an allergic reaction.
