Can this be taken pre conception and during pregnancy? Can a woman take it regularly as a tonic? Can men have it
It can be taken during pre-conception for sure. During pregnancy, it can be taken, but not really necessary.
It can be taken as a regular tonic by women. Sure. But in low dose. May be 2 – 3 grams per day. But women with PCOS may avoid this as it contains sugar in higher quantity.
Men can have it. It has aphrodisiac, mind calming effect.
Thanks.
The formulation that I have is made at home by my friend’s mother and has a combination of Shatavari, Ashwagandha, Vidarikand, Gokharu, Yashtimadhu, Anantmoola, Arjun, Gulvel, Shankhpushpi, Brahmi, Dry ginger powder, Cinnamon, Elaychi powder. Safe pre and during pregnancy? In a dose of 1 or 2 tsp per day?
As a general rule, it is best to avoid any kind of medicines / home remedies during pregnancy. The Yashtimadhu (also known as licorice) is best avoided during pregnancy. It may lead to behavioral problems in children. The safety of many herbs in your combination is not yet proved beyond doubt in pregnancy. So, I do not recommend it.
Active lifestyle, gentle oil massage, healthy food and nutrition supplement that gynaecologist advises, is more than good for a healthy pregnancy.
Thanks a lot for your quick feedback!
hello doctor, I suffer from PCOS and have not got my periods for months now, Shatavari Kalpa was recomended to get my cycle regularized is this correct or should i stop taking it, I wanted to try ayurvedic medice for this issue instead of alopethy.
Hi, it is one of the many medicines used in treating PCOS. I suggest you to consult a doctor directly.
you may continue it for up to next 3 months.
Dear Dr Hebbar,
I would just like to find out if this satavari kalpa and satavari ghulam have the same healing properties. I am undergoing medication for PCO and was given by the ayurvedic doctor the ghulam instead of the kalpa. I seriously believe that i need a more specific medication because of my abnormal condition. Hope you would be able to help. Thanks so much.
Hi, for kids with seizure, it is better to consult the doctor, rather than relying on this medicine. This medicine might help, but not to a great extent.
Hi please try Shatari granules. It helps.
Is Shatavari (by itself) only recommended for women? Or can it be taken by men too? I’m wondering if there’s something like Ashwagandha to help stamina but without the Pitta aggravating effect…
Thank you,
Shatavari is prescribed even for men.
Other rejuvenating herbs like Kooshmanda, Vidari, Shatavari, Bala etc are a good susbtitute for Ashwagandha.
Hi, if it is just delay in periods or longer menstrual cycle, say of 40 days, having aloe vera juice – 25 ml per day may help. If it is too longer then you need to consult an Ayurveda doctor directly. Home remedies alone might not work.
HI sir,
I live in hostel where it is difficult to get milk. Can shatavari kalpa be taken with water instead ??
am vry thin 35 kg tried many things to gain weight bt no use 🙁 is shatavari kalpa is gud to weight gain
Hello Dr Hebbar,
I’m in my first trimester of pregnancy and considering taking Shatavari powder to help with morning sickness/nausea. Could you clarify if this would help?
Also, the article states that Shatavari should only be taken for 2-4 months. Does that mean I can’t take it during the entire pregnancy and postpartum? I did take Shatavari pre-conception for a few months as well.
Thanks.
PS: Great Site! I’ve read several articles on your website and found them useful.
I do not see a real need to take shatavari during pregnancy.
Is it helpful in breast enhancement?
is it useful for breast enlargement:
Hi Doctor,
Does Shatavari Kalpa helps fertility problems in females??? How many months after consuming it shows results?? I have been trying to conceive for one year without any success. Please advice
It helps. But for fertility problem, first the cause needs to be evaluated. Please consult a doctor in person.
It is fine to continue it for another six months.
Hi, Shatavari alone might not be helpful for you. Please consult an Ayurveda doctor.
Hi doctor Ayurveda doctor has proscribed me for breast enhance ment with massage oil and asked me to take dhatu postic with that is it really works
I had a benign lump in my breast, is it safe to take shatavari kalp for me..
Does it help for unpredictable infertility.
Shatavari can surely help you. Please consult an Ayurveda doctor in person for comprehensive Ayurvedic treatment.
Hello… my kid is just 2 weeks old and there’s not enough milk generating… Will having shatavari kalp help me!?!? If so, what’s the dosage!?!?and will I put on more weight because of this??? Pls suggest
It helps in lactation. – Dose – 1 – 2 teaspoons two times a day with milk.

Hi doctor I am 46 and reached menopause one week earlier I started taking satavarii powder iam noticing weight gain and breast enlargement I should discontinue it or later it will normalize
Hi, better to discontinue it. Probably Ashwagandha capsule – 1 capsule at night is more suited for you. Consult a doctor directly for the right advice. Read more about menopause symptoms management with Ayurveda and lifestyle – http://easyayurveda.com/2015/04/19/perimenopause-ayurvedic-treatment-lifestyle/
Dr. I’m 23 yrs old.. but according to my age I’m underweight ..so cn I take ths product to gain weight n is it suitable for health grow???
In a higher dose of 1 tablespoon per day, after food with milk, it improves weight.
Shilpa…dr. Can we take shatavari to traet endometriosis???
You may need other medicines for regularization of menses. Please consult a doctor directly.
Hi, in your case, Shatavari Kalp might not be the right medicine. Please consult an Ayurveda doctor.
Follow these weight loss techniques – easyayurveda.com/2009/09/24/simple-effective-tips-to-lose-weight-quickly-the-ayurvedic-way/
Since Shatavari kalpa has sugar in it, better to opt for Shatavari capsule – 2 – 4 capsule per day.
Hi I m 44 yrs n taking shatavari cap for the last one and half months. I notice swelling on my face. Should I discontinue?
Hi, so sorry that you are having gestational diabetes, and shatavari kalpa is contraindicated in such cases as it contains sugar. But you can use shatavari root if you could get it. you can either boil its root in fat free milk or else you can make a paste of root by rubbing on stone and consume it with milk.
definitely it will help. you should also drink milk for about 200-400 ml per day.
Will I gain weight by drinking satavarex kalp???
N thanks for ur humble reply????
Doctor will taking shatavari powder for breast enhancement cause weight gain.. Like in belly or expanding the waist or butt.
shatavari is a natural galactogague use to increase breast milk not mere breast enhancement.
you can, but there are lot more medicines meant for male and female infertility. please consult an Ayurveda doctor and follow his treatment.
hello doctor…thanks for your post and the replies u have sent earlier.
Hello Dr
I am 28 yrs old and trying to conceive.Can u tell me which shatavari kalpa I can buy. Which one is good.
Dhootapapeshwar madam.
No madam. You can take Ashokarishta to regulate your periods.
Note: Please do consult a ayurvedic physician before taking over the counter medication. Because we all are genetically different with different constitutions and patterns, we respond to treatments in many different ways. Hence Standard Ayurvedic Treatments are always individually formulated.
a teaspoon of SHatavari powder, once or twice a day can be had with milk.
Hi, the phtyo-estrogens do not affect all. The herbs have complex chemical combinations and it is wrong to entirely explain them just with one set of chemicals.
If you already are enjoying benefits of Shatavari, you need not worry about side effects and would suggest you to continue it for 3 – 4 months, before stopping them ( I do not recommend taking any herb longer than that, unless absolutely necessary).

Dr. can this aurvedic medicine be used by old aged men also.
