What is Shatavari?

Shatavari is the root of Asparagus racemosus, a plant with a long history of use in Ayurveda. Traditional Ayurvedic discussions commonly place Shatavari in nourishing and rejuvenative wellness contexts, particularly in relation to women's wellness.

These traditional-use references should not be interpreted as a claim that Shatavari diagnoses, treats or cures a medical condition.

Shatavari Root vs Shatavari Powder

Natural Shatavari Root: Choose this form if you prefer a less-processed traditional format or are following a preparation that specifically calls for the root.

Shatavari Powder: Also commonly searched as Shatavari Churna, the powder form is more convenient for routine preparation, measuring and mixing.

Both forms come from Shatavari root. The main difference is the physical form and convenience of preparation.

How to use Shatavari Powder

Shatavari powder is traditionally used with a suitable liquid such as warm water or milk, depending on the preparation being followed. The appropriate quantity and frequency can vary by person and intended use, so follow the product directions or guidance from a qualified Ayurvedic or healthcare professional.

Natural Root should be prepared according to the recipe or traditional method you are following.

Traditional Ayurvedic context

Shatavari has traditionally been regarded as a nourishing and rejuvenative herb in Ayurveda. It is especially well known in traditional women's wellness practices, although it is not inherently restricted only to women. Individual suitability varies.
