Description
Description
Botanical Name: Asparagus racemosus
Shatavari is a climbing root native to the Indian subcontinent, long prepared as a food-based botanical within Ayurvedic households. For generations it was blended into warm milk, ghee and simple daily preparations, woven quietly into nourishment rather than treated as an isolated remedy.
Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Shatavari Powder is produced from carefully dried roots that are finely milled to preserve their natural integrity. The powder is pale, smooth and softly aromatic, with a mild earthy flavour and gentle sweetness that integrates easily into both sweet and savoury foods.
Its understated taste historically made it suitable for consistent, modest use. It became part of daily routines centred on rest, replenishment and steady nourishment, particularly in practices associated with women’s wellbeing across different life stages.

Ayurvedic Tradition
In Ayurveda, shatavari is traditionally regarded as one of the most significant botanicals for women’s nourishment. Classical texts associate it with menstrual harmony, reproductive vitality and the transition into later years when included as part of regular dietary practice.
Its Sanskrit name is often interpreted as “she who possesses a hundred roots,” a poetic expression of resilience and enduring feminine strength. Shatavari is categorised as a rasayana, a term used for botanicals valued for sustained nourishment and long-term balance rather than immediate stimulation.
Ayurvedic texts describe it as sweet and slightly bitter in taste, cooling in nature and grounding in quality. It is considered tridoshic, with particular affinity for calming excess Pitta and supporting Vata through nourishment and steadiness. Traditionally it was blended into warm milk or ghee during periods culturally associated with rest, hormonal transitions and rebuilding.
Shatavari root naturally contains fibre, plant-based saponins and micronutrients characteristic of root botanicals. Within traditional food cultures, this composition contributed to its reputation as a sustaining ingredient when used regularly in modest amounts.
These reflections honour classical Ayurvedic tradition and cultural food heritage rather than medical guidance.
Caution
Herbal botanicals can be a meaningful part of daily ritual, but every body is unique. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical care, please consult your practitioner before introducing new botanicals.
