Shatavari Milk in the Evening

A pinch of shatavari powder in a small cup of warm milk is sometimes taken in the evening. Ask a doctor in pregnancy or if you take hormones. It is not a fertility cure.

A pinch of shatavari in evening milk

Shatavari root powder is sold widely for women, but this page keeps it to a pinch in milk, not a large spoon. The drink is mild and food-like. It does not promise a regular cycle, pregnancy, or balanced hormones.

If you are pregnant, being cared for while trying to conceive, or taking hormone tablets, patches, or injections, ask that doctor before adding shatavari. The same applies if you live with a hormone-sensitive condition. Stop if the milk feels too heavy or the powder upsets the stomach.

Ingredients

A pinch of shatavari powder, about a quarter teaspoon or less
1 small cup of milk
1 cardamom pod, crushed, for aroma

How to prepare

Warm the milk with the crushed cardamom and take it off the heat.
Stir in the pinch of shatavari so no dry lumps remain.

How to use

Drink one small cup in the evening, not several through the day.
Keep the powder to a pinch unless a practitioner who knows you has set another amount.
If you start hormone medicine, pause the drink until a doctor has answered.

Helpful habits

Cardamom is only for smell and taste. It does not change the caution around shatavari.
If milk bothers you, skip the drink rather than stirring the powder into a large sweet shake.

Precautions

Ask a doctor before using shatavari in pregnancy.
Ask a doctor if you are on hormones or have a hormone-sensitive condition.
This cup is not a fertility treatment and does not replace prescribed medicine.
