- Regulating immune responses
- Rejuvenating different organ systems
- Sexual health is important for a healthy lifestyle
- Nutritious foods for the nerves system
The herb has many uses and is known as the Queen of Herbs, Curer of 100 Diseases, etc.
Alternative medical practitioners recommend this herb because of its potential benefits, including aphrodisiacs, galactogogues, antacids, diuretics, antispasmodics, demulcents, antidiarrheals, antidepressants, antimicrobials, antioxidants, adaptogenics, and immunomodulatory.
Health Benefits of Asparagus Racemosus
- The Female Reproductive System
The herb is said to possess properties that help nourish, rejuvenate, and strengthen the female reproductive organs. Evidence-based data suggest that Shatavari is beneficial in premenstrual syndrome, fertility issues, uterine bleeding, and menopausal symptoms.1 Peer-reviewed research has indicated that the herb appears to alleviate inflammation of the reproductive organs and the urinary bladder, moisten dry tissues of the sexual organs, enhance folliculogenesis and ovulation, prepare the womb for conception, prevent miscarriages, increase lactation and normalize the uterus and fluctuating hormones. Its use is also advocated in endometriosis, leucorrhoea, and menorrhagia. 2
Ayurvedic literature considers Withania somnifera as the main rejuvenating tonic for women, just as it does for men.
Biogetica blends are created after thorough research and incorporating the best natural resources to restore balance to the body. Asparagus plays a key role in our female health protocols such as Biogetica’s Freedom Kit with Inflammation Formula or Freedom Kit with Reguline, OM24 EN, and AV VITAF formula.
- The Male Reproductive System
Asparagus Racemosus is also tested for its aphrodisiac qualities to boost male sexual health. According to research, the herb promotes a healthy sperm number and improves sexual disabilities like Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation. It also increases reproductive fluids and improves semen quality and quantity.
Asparagus is included in Biogetica’s male health protocols, such as the Biogetica Freedom kit with OM 22 Formula or Biogetica Freedom kit with SS 200 Formula.
- The Immune system of the Body
Ayurvedic concepts state that the body produces a liquid known as Ojas. This liquid is responsible for energy and vitality. It also promotes virility. It affects both the mental and physical faculties. Asparagus Racemosus has anti-inflammatory properties, increases the number of white blood cell count, builds ojas, and improves immunity.
Asparagus is included in our immune boosting protocols for reproductive organs, such as the freedom kit with OM 24 formula or salvation kit with Hypericum Mysorense and Alclearize along with Homeopathic H Factor Formula.
- Inhibiting Free Radical Formation
Asparagus Racemosus is described in Ayurveda as an adaptogenic herb. It increases non-specific resistance to a wide range of biological, chemical, and physical stressors. It is believed to have strong anti-oxidant qualities and helps detoxify the body from harmful free radicals. Shatavari has also been known to enhance longevity and resist Stress.
Asparagus, a powerful adaptogen, and antioxidant, is an important ingredient in our anti-aging protocols that are ingeniously designed for men and women.
- The Nervous System
Asparagus Racemosus has been found to have anti-stress and anti-depressive properties, as well as nootropics, nerve tonics, and anti-stress. Shatavari may be particularly useful for calming hypersensitive nerves and inflamed nerves. It also nourishes and repairs them, and supports and enhances brain functions. It may also have a calming effect, which can help induce sleep.
Asparagus has been extensively researched for its nerve-beneficial properties. Biogetica doctors have adapted it in our Nerve Health Protocols, such as the Delivery Kit with OM13 Formula, Freedom Kit With Pain 10 M Formula, and Optimal Kit With C9 Stressease Formula.
- Respiratory System
Shatavari has been used for centuries to improve respiratory health. Its cooling and moistening properties soothe dry and inflamed respiratory mucous. Its immunomodulatory qualities help the body to improve its defenses from foreign bodies that invade the respiratory tract.
Biogetica’s Respiratory Health Protocol, the Freedom Kit With ALB Formula, contains Shatavari.
- Digestive Health
Clinical evidence has suggested that Shatavari cools and soothes the mucous membranes of the digestive tract thereby alleviating ulcerative disorders.3 The herb is said to possess anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory as well as antacid properties, which help in exerting a demulcent effect and improving digestive functions. Study results have also highlighted that Shatavari may possess anti-diarrhoeal effects and slow intestinal transit.
Shatavari is also studied in relation to conditions that affect the eyes, bones, and circulation. This herb has a long list of documented uses. In recent years, research has also shown the many health benefits that this herb offers.
Biogetica is a pioneer in natural medicine and has researched many natural ingredients. In this field, we have also published numerous patents. We combine the best synergistic combination in our protocols to target root issues across the physical spectrum, the energetic spectrum, and the informational spectrum. This allows us to offer health and freedom to the patient community.
