In Western herbal medicine, shatavari is often seen as a female reproductive tonic and shatavari does indeed mean to possess a hundred husbands . However, it is equally considered a great general tonic. Withania is sometimes also seen as a female tonic by Western herbalists, perhaps due to the fact that it is less stimulating than Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng), however, in Ayurvedic medicine, shatavari is the main rejuvenative tonic for the female, as is Withania for the male. Shatavari is, however, used for sexual debility and infertility in both sexes. It is also used for nervous disorders, dyspepsia, hyperacidity, diarrhoea, dysentery, tumours, inflammations, hyperdipsia, neuropathy, hepatopathy, cough, bronchitis, certain infectious diseases, menopausal symptoms and to increase lactation.
Constituents: The Asparagaceae genus, containing some 300 species, is considered to be of medical importance because of the presence of sapogenins and saponins. Shatavari contains 8-9% steroidal saponins, known as shatavarin I, immunoside, asparagin A and shatavarins IV X.(1). The major saponins in the roots are shatavarin I and especially shatavarin IV (44%). Shatavari also contains isoflavones, including 8-methoxy-5,6,4'- trihydroxyisoflavone 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(2), phytosterols (0.8%), polyphenols (1.7%) and flavonoids (3).
Actions: Adaptogen, antitussive, antioxidant, antibacterial, immunomodulator, digestive, cytoprotective, galactogogue, anti-oxytocin, antispasmodic, antidiarrhoeal, antiulcerogenic, oestrogen modulator.
