Life force, suppleness and beauty for women. Shatavari, the Indian asparagus, grows as a bundle of roots, which has given it its name Shata-vari, in German “Hundred Roots”. It has an intensely tart taste and a fine earthy floral scent. The roots of this Indian type of asparagus are said to give strength and elasticity, as well as firmness and suppleness. It is precisely the properties of resilience, flexibility and endurance that benefit the female body and its organs, which are associated with the monthly cycle and the ability to give birth. However, the plant shatavari does not distinguish between men and women. Men also benefit from the described characteristics.
