Health Benefits Of Shatavari
Shatavari For Female Reproductive System
Shatavari is described as a powerful female-friendly herb. It helps in treating numerous hormonal problems. Not only does it help in treating endometriosis (i.e. inflammation of the lining of the uterus) but also maintains and balances hormonal levels within the blood, strengthens the female reproductive organs, and enhances maturation of the eggs into follicles. Being a powerful uterine tonic, regular use of this formulation or consuming foods that improve fertility may be very helpful when an individual is trying to conceive.
Shatavari Enhances Libido
Boasted for being a natural aphrodisiac, Shatavari helps in reducing mental stress and anxiety and stimulates the hormones for increasing libido in both men and women. It also increases virility and stamina in men.
Shatavari For Male Reproductive System
Although Shatavari is mostly used for the female reproductive system, it is also beneficial towards improving men’s health. The root powder has powerful spermatogenic properties that are extremely useful for treating teratospermia (i.e. abnormal sperm shape), oligospermia (i.e. low sperm count), hypospermia (low volume of semen), asthenozoospermia (i.e. sperm motility), and enhances spermatogenesis (i.e. sperm production). Being a natural antioxidant, it improves the production of male hormones like testosterone and luteinizing hormone. It also treats conditions like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
Shatavari For Lactation
Coined as a powerful galactagogue, Shatavari holds high significance in lactating women to boost the secretion of milk from the mammary glands. This is extremely beneficial towards the young ones since breast milk is ideal for their nourishment and strengthening their immune system. It not only heals the new mom after childbirth but also helps in improving the production of breastmilk for feeding the newborn. One such potent herbal formulation is Shatavari Kalpa.
Shatavari Kalpa
Shatavari Kalpa is an ancient ayurvedic concoction of Shatavari and Elaichi that not only enhances the production of breast milk but also reduces pain, fatigue and general weakness in the mother. It bestows energy and overall nourishment to the new mom and effectively balances the Pitta and Vata doshas. Apart from the new mom, this formulation can also be taken by women of all ages to improve immunity and stamina during their menstruation, post-natal period, and also during pregnancy.
