Shatavari
Asparagus racemosus
Shatavari is one of the most important medicinals in Ayurvedic medicine; extracts from its dried roots are used for various reproductive and hormonal issues in women. Because of its multiple uses, the demand for Asparagus racemosus is constantly on the rise, and with over-harvesting, combined with habitat destruction and deforestation, the plant is now considered endangered in its natural habitat.
