Shatavari is important in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Extracts made from dried roots are used for various reproductive and hormonal issues in women. It is also used to promote milk production in nursing mothers, and for gastric ulcers and indigestion. Despite its long history of use in Ayurveda, few studies exist to support health effects of shatavari. Studies of its effects on lactation have shown mixed results. Its safety has not been well studied, however small trials have found no adverse effects in mothers or their babies. The key pharmacologic constituents of shatavari are steriodal saponins, mucilage, and alkaloids.
