Widely embraced in Ayurveda, Shatavari powder plays a prominent role in this ancient natural medicine system originating from India over 3,000 years ago. Ayurveda emphasizes the harmony between the environment and one’s mind, body, and spirit. Extracted from the roots of the Asparagus racemosus plant, Shatavari powder distinguishes itself from the asparagus commonly found in local grocery stores, known as Asparagus officinalis; they are distinct plant species. Asparagus racemosus is indigenous to India.
