Shatavari is the root of the *Asparagus racemosus* plant. Ayurvedic practice uses the herb as a general tonic and to support digestive comfort, reproductive health, and lactation. People take it as a powder, capsule, or liquid extract. A common preparation mixes the powder with warm milk or water.
Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well studied. Avoid shatavari in those circumstances unless you are under professional guidance.
