Shatavari - Asparagus racemossus
I have worked with Shatavari for many years and I love it so very much (I know, I know - I love all the herbs haha.)
Shatavari is a relative of asparagus and produces a cooling, moistening action in the body.
Shatavari means “hundred husbands” and is said to be for the woman with one hundred husbands. (hehe)
While this plant is highly revered for its work on the womb, Shatavari has an effect on all tissues in the body - and this may be contributed to the way that Shatavari helps to rejuvenate the blood. I speak and focus on the blood in most of the work that I do. This is because the blood works to bring fresh nutrients to all parts of the body and carry away waste. We want to always have clean, healthy blood and proper circulation throughout the entire body!
Also known as “Indian Asparagus”, Shatavari is said to increase the intellect. I believe that is because of the way she nourishes the kidneys - in Traditional Chinese Medicine the brain is dependent on the kidneys for strength and nutrients. This is one reason that I put Shatavari in my Remember to Focus blend.
Shatavari helps to moisturize the mucus membranes of the body including the lungs, digestive tract, urinary tract, and the kidneys.
Shatavari is also a key ingredient in my Mother’s Milk formula - helping nursing mothers produce rich milk for their children!
Shatavari makes a great addition to oils used externally for nerve, muscle, and joint complaints.
