is shatavari hot or cold - #25840
I am feeling really confused about this whole shatavari thing! I’ve been reading about it and trying to find out if shatavari is hot or cold, because I keep hearing mixed things. I had some serious digestive issues last year, and my Ayurvedic doctor suggested shatavari to help balance things, but now I’m reading that it can have different properties. Long story short, I started taking it, and my gut seemed to feel better, but then I noticed I was feeling a little too warm, like hot flashes or something? I did some googling, and there was a mention of shatavari being either hot or cold depending on the source, which just muddied the waters more! Do I have to worry if shatavari is hot or cold? Should I balance it with something else if it is considered hot? Feel like I’m in a maze over here! Any advice on this would be a lifesaver! 😊

In Ayurveda, shatavari is generally categorized as having a cooling property. It is soothing and is renowned for balancing Pitta dosha, which represents heat in the body. So if you’ve been experiencing digestive issues linked to excess Pitta, shatavari could certainly be a supportive herb due to its cooling and nourishing nature.
However, each individual’s constitution, or Prakriti, plays a crucial role in how a herb like shatavari affects them. Your warm sensation or hot flashes after taking shatavari could be due to several reasons. Perhaps its interplay with your unique dosha balance, dietary choices, or other lifestyle factors like stress, may have contributed to what you’re experiencing. Also consider any other medications or supplements you might be taking.
If you feel like shatavari is making you feel warm, it might be beneficial to balance it with other cooling practices or food items. For instance, pairing shatavari with cooling herbs such as coriander or fennel could help. Being mindful of your overall diet can also be helpful, incorporating foods like cucumbers, melons, and mint which are naturally cooling and keep Pitta in check.
Remember, in Ayurveda moderation is key. It might be worth reviewing the dosage you’re taking, as more is not always better. Sometimes adjusting it slightly downward can make a difference. Try taking it with a calming medium like milk (if tolerable), as shatavari is often consumed this way to enhance its benefits, especially with digestion.
If symptoms continue, it would be prudent to consult your Ayurvedic doctor again. Ensure there’s coherence in any protocol you follow to keep the balance in context with your current health state and any ongoing treatments. And while the cooling property of shatavari is known, individual experiences can vary—so always align herbal use with professional guidance to get the most out of Ayurveda’s profound offerings.
