Shatavari and Ayurveda: Traditional Uses

Shatavari is used in Ayurveda to balance pitta and vata, but can increase kapha due to its heavy nature.  Its bitter and sweet taste has a cooling effect on the system, and its unctuous (oily), building nature makes it a great support for anyone looking for a nourishing, grounding effect. These combined qualities classify it among the Rasayana herbs in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. It is rejuvenate to the reproductive system (particularly female), the digestive system (particularly when pitta is involved), and for the blood.
