Shatavari. A herb perhaps best know for treating a wide range of gynaecological issues but there’s much more to this herb - both for women and men. It’s a herb that I frequently suggest to clients and here are a few of the reasons why.
⠀⠀
Shatavari is the root of the Asparagus Racemosos plant and is an incredibly cooling herb. As such it can be taken for any form of inflammation, particularly in the Gastrointestinal Tract. If you suffer from acid reflux, heartburn or gastritis you may find relief from Shatavari together with a diet based around bitter foods (think leafy greens!).
⠀⠀
Shatavari is also a great nervine and is indicated for stress, anxiety and burnout conditions typically caused by an excess of dry heat in the body.
⠀⠀
To return to the gynaecological benefits, many women find that Shatavari helps with pre-menstrual issues, hot flushes, peri and full menopause.
⠀⠀
This is just a brief summary and, as always, a consultation with an Ayurvedic Practitioner is recommended before taking any Ayurvedic herbal medicines to ensure they’re appropriate for you and that you’re taking them in a way that maximises their benefit.
