Organic Shatavari Powder

Shatavari hails from the asparagus family. It has many root tubers.

In Ayurveda, the juicy tubers of the plant offer many health benefits. In fact, the meaning of Shatavari is that which has hundreds of roots.  Ayurvedic practitioners believe that it helps keep the female reproductive system healthy and supports natural fertility. Additionally, Shatavari helps promote lactation after childbirth.

The Shatavari plant is very adaptable as it can grow in a variety of climates in South Asia. The nutrients present in the plant are so nourishing that it is conducive to every tissue of the body. Not only does it help improve gut health, but the nutrient fluids generated from Shatavari improve eye health and brain health.

Due to Shatavari’s coolness, it supports the natural balance of Pitta heat and due to its moistening quality it balances Vata dosha.

Athreya Shatavari powder contains Shatavari root. Studies indicate that Shatavari is rich in active constituents, such as saponins, glycosides, polyphenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, and vitamins. Saponins of Shatavari root are reported to have antioxidant which contributes to support natural defense and reproductive tissues.

Athreya cultivates Shatavari in red soil, which has the richness of deciduous trees as well as moist climate. This kind of cultivation helps Shatavari roots to be juicier and retain high concentrations of active nutrients in it. We ensure that Shatavari is grown in an inclined or sloped region so that it gets maximum sunlight during the time when the roots or tubers are maturing. This practice of cultivating Shatavari in red soil and maximum exposure to the sun are critical factors for the potency of the phytonutrients present in it.
