Asparagus racemosus (Asparagus racemosus)

Grape asparagus, also known by its Indian names shatavari, shatavari, satavar, shatamull, shituli, vrishya, is considered one of the most important herbal medicines in traditional Ayurvedic medicine due to its medicinal properties. This perennial plant, which grows up to two metres in height, is native to South and East Asia, particularly India, Sri Lanka and Nepal, but is now cultivated worldwide.

Grape asparagus is used not only medicinally but also in cosmetics and nutritional supplements. The roots of this plant are the basic raw material for the production of various products and are the source of a number of important biologically active substances such as steroidal saponins, flavonoids, phytoestrogens and polysaccharides. These substances have a number of beneficial effects on the human body. In Ayurvedic medicine, shatavari is mainly used as a tonic for the female reproductive organs, but also for strengthening the immune system or improving digestion. In cosmetics, it is used for its moisturizing and regenerating effects on the skin and hair. In addition to these products, the grape asparagus is also used to make tea, which has a strong refreshing and tonic effect and promotes the overall health and vitality of the body.
