Shatavari has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to balance hormones, support reproductive health, and reduce stress.

Shatavari also contains saponins, which are compounds that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This simple tea is a delicious and easy way to reap the benefits of shatavari.
