The Herb

Among Ayurveda’s most revered Rasayana herbs for feminine vitality, nourishment, and graceful longevity, Shatavari holds a place of extraordinary honour.

Its Sanskrit name translates poetically as “the woman with a hundred husbands” — symbolising abundant vitality, reproductive strength, emotional steadiness, and deep feminine nourishment.

Ancient Ayurvedic physicians regarded Shatavari as one of nature’s most sacred cooling rejuvenatives — especially for conditions associated with depletion, dryness, heat, hormonal exhaustion, and weakened reproductive vitality.

Where Pitta created burning, irritability, and overheating, and where Vata generated dryness, instability, nervous depletion, and fatigue, Shatavari was traditionally used to restore softness, lubrication, cooling balance, and sustained nourishment.

Its naturally sweet and unctuous qualities made it especially respected within women’s wellness traditions, postpartum nourishment rituals, reproductive vitality regimens, and restorative Rasayana formulations.

Yet Ayurveda did not limit Shatavari only to women. Classical texts also honoured it as a deeply nourishing herb for vitality, immunity, emotional steadiness, digestive cooling, and rejuvenation across constitutions.

ASLI AYURVEDA offers Shatavari in its most authentic form — carefully harvested roots, naturally dried, and preserved without additives or artificial enhancement.

This is not merely an herbal supplement.
This is Ayurveda’s philosophy of lunar nourishment, softness, and enduring vitality.

What the Ancient Texts Say

Charaka Samhita

शतावरी गुरु स्निग्धा रसायन्यबलप्रदा ।
स्तन्यजननी वृष्या च पित्तवातविनाशिनी ॥

Śatāvarī guru snigdhā rasāyanyabalapradā ।
Stanyajananī vṛṣyā ca pittavātavināśinī ॥

“Shatavari is nourishing and rejuvenative, traditionally associated with strength, lactation support, vitality, and balancing Pitta and Vata.”

हिंदी अर्थ:
“शतावरी को गुरु और स्निग्ध माना गया है। यह रसायन, बल, स्तन्य समर्थन तथा वात-पित्त संतुलन में पारंपरिक रूप से उपयोगी मानी गई है।”

Charaka especially honours Shatavari as a Rasayana herb for nourishment and feminine wellness.

Bhavaprakasha Nighantu

शतावरी मधुरा तिक्ता शीतला बलवर्धिनी ।
वृष्या स्तन्यकरी प्रोक्ता क्षतक्षीणविनाशिनी ॥

Śatāvarī madhurā tiktā śītalā balavardhinī ।
Vṛṣyā stanyakarī prōktā kṣatakṣīṇavināśinī ॥

“Shatavari is sweet, slightly bitter, and cooling, traditionally associated with strength, vitality, nourishment, and restorative support.”

हिंदी अर्थ:
“शतावरी को मधुर, तिक्त और शीतल माना गया है। यह बल, पोषण, वृष्य तथा क्षीणता में पारंपरिक रूप से उपयोगी मानी गई है।”

The classical texts consistently describe Shatavari as a root of cooling nourishment, rejuvenation, and feminine vitality.
