The Science of Shatavari
Recent research supports the traditional classification of Shatavari
(Asparagus racemosus) as a Rasayana, a dietary supplement or
practice promoting rejuvenation, mental and physical health, as well
as providing a defense against premature aging and challenging
environmental factors. Shatavari has the general ability to promote
normal physical functions and counteract the adverse effects of
stress. In eight different stress tests, Shatavari produced
significant anti-stress and immuno-stimulant effects.1
Studies have also shown that
Shatavari supports the production of breast milk2 and
promotes healthy liver activity.3

Dosha Guide
In Ayurveda there are seven basic body
constitutions resulting from the predominance of one or more
energetic influences or Doshas. The Doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha,
influence physical, mental and spiritual health. Everyone is
considered to be a unique combination of these three body
influences. Your natural Doshic state of balance is called
Prakruti. In traditional use, Shatavari’s cooling properties
control disturbances in Vata and Pitta body constitutions.
