How we approach it
Shatavari, शतावरी. Asparagus racemosus. The herb this tradition reaches for first in formulations for women, described in the classical texts as a rasayana, a rejuvenative. That long use is why it is here.
Fenugreek, मेथी. A kitchen herb in most Indian households long before anybody sold it in a capsule. It has centuries of traditional use behind it, which is a plainer recommendation than most ingredients can offer.
Vidarikand, विदारीकंद. Pueraria tuberosa. A tuber used in classical formulations as a rejuvenative, and traditionally given alongside shatavari rather than on its own.
Yashtimadhu, मुलेठी. Liquorice root, used traditionally to round off a formulation and soften the stronger herbs in it. Worth one caution: liquorice does not suit everybody, particularly with high blood pressure or certain medicines. Ask us before you start.
How this works
You tell us what you are seeing and how long it has been going on. We ask a few questions back, because the same complaint has more than one cause and the routine is different for each. Then we suggest something, and we tell you honestly if we do not think it will help.
What is realistic
Ayurveda works slowly and it works on some things and not others. A routine is worth starting when you can give it months rather than days, and it is worth stopping when nothing has changed. We do not promise a result, a size or a date, and anybody in this trade who does is guessing at your expense.
Nothing here is a medicine or a substitute for seeing a doctor. If something is painful, changing quickly, or new and one sided, please have it looked at properly first.
