Shatavari, Asparagus racemosus, is, as the name suggests, a member of the asparagus family. It is the most important herb in Ayurvedic formulas for the female reproductive system. Just as toxic heat is regarded as the most critical problem for the male reproductive system, vata derangements are regarded as troublesome for women. "Wind" causes instability and dryness so moisturing or demulcent herbs are used to improve elasticity, libido, and fertility. It can be used during both puberty and menopause as well as at any time there is a desire to increase sattva. It is suitable for use by men and children as well as women.

Female Plus, 60 capsules
This is an Ayurvedic product for women with menopausal mood and energy fluctuations: it works on an emotional as well as physiological basis. The theory is that while the ovaries are retiring, the pituitary body is still producing hormones that would normally trigger estrogen and progesterone production. The formula is basically a nervine, i.e., a blend of herbs that helps to pacify vata in a way that reduces mood swings and restless sleep.
Ingredients: standardized extracts of Shatawari (Asparagus racemosus), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Cumin (Cumimum cyminum), Pipli (Piper cubeba), Caryophyllus aromaticus, Nageshkar (Mesua ferrea), Purnarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa), Bombax malabaricum, Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Guggul (Cedrus deodara), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Hygrophila spinosa, Vasak (Adhatoda vasica), Ficus bengalensis, Nelumbium speciosum, Andropogon muricatus, Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Byronia laciniosa, Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis), Lodh tree (Symplocos racemosa), Ashoka (Saraca indica). |
