Shatavari is one of the most esteemed herbs for women in the Indian tradition of Ayurveda. In this ancient wellness system, it is used to nourish the female reproductive organs and bring balance to fluctuating hormone levels in later life. Ayurveda classifies Shatavari as a "cooling, calming" agent that tones down the "hot" emotions like anger and irritability.
