Asparagus is perhaps best known as a female rejuvenative. According to Ayurvedic texts, Shatavari means �one who possesses hundred husbands�. The root contains compounds called steroidal glycosides (asparagoside) that directly affect hormone production and may very well influence emotions. It is the most important herb in Ayurvedic medicine for dealing with problems connected with women�s fertility. It is useful in infertility, decreased libido, threatened miscarriage, menopause, leucorrhoea, menstrual cramps and has the ability to balance pH in the cervical area. Dry membranes, such as those on the vaginal wall, are also brought into balance through the herbs demulcent action. It tones, cleanses, nourishes, and strengthens the female reproductive organs and so is traditionally used to control the symptoms of PMS, including breast tenderness and abdominal bloating, amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, leucorrhoea and menopause. It is also useful in pelvic inflammatory disease like endometriosis. It also supports deeper tissue and build blood and so it helps to remove infertility, prepare the womb for conception, prevent miscarriage and acts as a post-partum tonic where it helps to increase lactation and normalize the uterus and the changing hormones. So many of these benefits abound because Asparagus contains phytoestrogens, hormones that normalize estrogen levels and also play an important role in preserving women�s long term health. Clinical studies suggest that plant estrogen�s are better than drugs for hormone balancing since they do not produce negative side effects such as uterine cancer. This gentle herb will promote an easier balanced life.
Men may benefit from the herb as well in the treatment of impotence, spermatorrhoea, and general and sexual debility. In addition to it�s applications for reproductive organs, Asparagus is also quite effective for stomach ulcers, hyperacidity and diarrhoea. Dry and irritated membranes in the upper respiratory tract are soothed by this herb making it useful in cases of bronchitis and chronic fevers. It is believed to bring into balance all of the body�s fluids.
Recommended Dosage: 10 to 15 g powder of dried roots.
Contraindication: Do not take this herb when kidneys are inflamed, as it increases the rate of urinary production. Do not use if you have oedema (swelling) due to impaired kidney or heart function. In rares cases, may cause dermatitis.
