Shatavari Roots

Description

NxtGen Shatavari is good for the female reproductive system. One of the best herbs to fight menopause issues and hormonal imbalances. Supports healthy levels of breast milk production and already-balanced female hormones. Also supportive of the male reproductive system. Has a soothing effect on the digestive tract, supports healthy peristalsis of bowels, and provides moisturizing support of the respiratory tract.

Shatavari has been mentioned in Ayurvedic texts like the Charak Samhita, Susruta Samhita, Astanga Samgraha, and Kashyap Samhita, which clearly state that shatavari promotes maternal health and note its particular use as a galactagogue (enhances breast milk secretion in lactating mothers).

Ayurveda has called Shatavari the Queen of herbs and is the foremost herb recommended for female health. Among the three Ayurvedic Doshas of 'Vata', 'Pitta' and 'Kapha', Shatavari helps in balancing 'Pitta Dosha'. Shatavari's rasas are sweet ("madhura") and bitter ("tikta"). It is a natural coolant.

Shatavari is considered to be the most helpful herb for women as it helps in balancing the female hormonal system. The main herbal rejuvenative for women, Shatavari nourishes and cleanses the blood and the female reproductive organs, thus supporting the body's natural fertility. It nourishes the womb and ovum and supports the female organs for pregnancy. It also promotes the body's natural lactation.
