Product Use |
Shatavari plants are grown from seeds or by dividing the roots of a mature plant.
To ensure high-quality shatavari, sustainable farming practices are encouraged, such as organic and biodynamic farming. The use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides is discouraged as it can affect the medicinal properties of the plant. The plants are usually harvested after 2-3 years of growth when the roots are thick and mature.
After harvesting, the roots are washed, dried, and then processed into various forms such as powder, capsules, liquid extracts, or teas. The processing methods may vary depending on the manufacturer, but the most common ones include sun drying, indirect heating, and low-temperature vacuum drying.
