Churnam
Shatavari Powder
Shatavari Churnam (Asparagus racemosus) is one of the most celebrated Rasayana herbs in classical Ayurveda. The name literally means "she who possesses a hundred husbands," a poetic reference to its deep nourishing and rejuvenating qualities. It is classified as a Stri Rasayana par excellence in the Charaka Samhita.
Ingredients
100% Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) root powder.
How to use
Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) mixed with ghee or water, once or twice daily.
Shatavari Powder
With a sweet taste, cooling Virya and sweet Vipaka, Shatavari is the quintessential Pitta-pacifying and Vata-nourishing herb. Classical texts describe it as Balya, Vrishya and Jivaniya (life-giving). While traditionally celebrated for women's wellness, it is equally valued as a general Rasayana for all constitutions.
Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) mixed with ghee or water, once or twice daily. The classical carrier of warm water with a pinch of sugar enhances its Rasayana qualities.
