hi..question about shatavari

[Guest guest]

Yes, my husband (63) and I (62) and I both take it. I read everything I

could about it beforehand. It is supposed to be a wonderful rejunvenator for

women especially, but it is good for men also (I was sure before I gave it to

him). It IS rejuvenating and I don't mean only in appearance. We've taken it

for about two months. I am VERY sensitive to everything and it is one of a

few things I didn't react to. The others are coriander (15 years--it's

wonderful) and barley grass. Katy

I am a pitta/vata and I have found ashwagandha, triphala, and honey to be

upsetting to my body chemistry by taking them very often (they are warming). I

take shatavari on a daily basis with no problem. It a depends on your

constitution. Katy

Does anyone have any information about this herb? I took one pill

yesterday. I just had a baby 3 months ago and I heard it is supposed

to calm your emotions and increase love and devotion. I felt so good

after I took it. Has anyone else taken it? Is it safe to take everyday?

[Guest guest]

Shatavari and Shankhpushpi are some of the best herbs to include as daily

supplements to your diet. Of course you should definitely get advice on

proportions and also compatibility with your health/medications prior to taking

it..

 

Other great supplements include Triphala (awesome longterm), Ashwagandha and

honey.

<ayurveda> hi..question about shatavari

 

 

Does anyone have any information about this herb?

Has anyone else taken it? Is it safe to take everyday?

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone. I took it and I felt good the first day but on the

second day I took it I had a little too much energy and my mind was

racing. I am very sensitive to meds too. I am in an online course

about alternative medicine and hopefully I will learn more about

ayurveda because I dont know anything about it. thanks

Hi. Because you said you are sensitive (I am too) I would like to mention

something. I find it strange that you would have that particular adverse

reaction to shatavari. You said you took a PILL of shatavari (I use the pure

herb). It is possible that you reacted to a filler for the pill. Often

magnesium stearate is used as a filler. THAT speeds me up. Read the label oon

the bottle and see WHAT ELSE is in the pill besides shatavari.

 

You are wise to start learning about natural healing. I use homeopathy,

Ayurveda, and a little Chinese--all have been proven through the years. Good

luck. Katy
