I love taking a moment to highlight some of the beautiful, sacred ingredients that go into our formulations, and the “why” behind each of them. As you well know, every ingredient in each formulation has been carefully and lovingly chosen for the effect that it has on the skin, the body, the doshas, the hormones, your energy flow, your vitality, your spirit…the ripple effect goes on and on.

And Shatavari is a special one. Known (translated) as the infamous “she who has a thousand husbands”, Shatavari is the ultimate aphrodisiac to nourish the female reproductive organs. She is a nourishing and lubricating herb, with an unctuous, building, and grounding nature.

Shatavari is an herb that I pay extra reverence to, for the many gifts that it provides to women across ALL life phases. And that, perhaps is the most striking thing about the adaptogenic wonder. It supports the female body through menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, & menopause. Here are some key benefits:

Protective of Ojas and body fluids
Boosts milk supply in lactating mothers
Phytoestrogen qualities support hormonal balance during menopause
Boosts fertility with its aphrodisiac properties
Supports both mama and baby during pregnancy
Balances hormones (and emotions) during menstruation
Regulates vaginal pH levels
Replenishes reproductive tissue, helps with vaginal dryness

Perhaps lesser-known is Shatavari’s positive effect on stress and mood. Shatavari’s antidepressant and adaptogenic qualities soothe anger and irritability. And its nervine tonic qualities, combined with its cooling nature, bring Shatavari to the top of my list right now.

As such, you will find Shatavari playing a starring role in our Shatavari Yoni Oil, Bija Conscious Conception Tea, Sacred Pregnancy Tea, and - because of its cooling properties - our Pitta Alkalizing Herbal Cleanser.

SHATAVARI YONI OIL

We dreamed up the Shatavari Yoni Oil for all your yoni needs: vaginal dryness, inflammation, hormonal changes, daily nourishment, and of course pleasure. Shatavari is Ayurveda's #1 rejuvenative tonic herb for the female reproductive tissues. We slowly and lovingly infuse Shatavari root into a soothing but nourishing base of cold-pressed seed oils. Use this aphrodisiac elixir daily for ultimate restoration of ojas and protection of your creative tissues.

BIJA • CONSCIOUS CONCEPTION TEA

The holy trinity of Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Tulsi nourish your powers of creation in our Bija • Conscious Conception Tea. In Ayurveda, fertility and infertility relate directly to the health of the seventh tissue layer of the body, which holds the reproductive seed, or "bija". Shatavari and Ashwagandha serve as aphrodisiac herbs, nourishing and strengthening the reproductive organs. Tulsi is known to increase feelings of love and devotion. Whether you are looking to conceive a new project, business, or baby, nourish your infinite potentiality of creation.

PITTA • ALKALIZING HERBAL CLEANSER

Formulated for acne-prone, inflamed, sensitive Pitta skin, this organic herbal cleanser calms blemishes and irritation, while purifying pores. Neem, Manjistha and Lavender are some of Ayurveda's best alkalizing herbs for combating blemishes and other inflammatory Pitta skin issues. Shatavari's unctuous properties restore moisture and build ojas, or vitality, in the tissues. Serves as a daily cleanser and light exfoliant, all in one.
