Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Asparagus racemosus, commonly known as Shatavari, has a long-standing history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it is valued for its adaptogenic and tonic properties. In Ayurveda, Shatavari is regarded as a “rasayana” (rejuvenative) herb and is believed to support the urinary tract and kidney health by acting as a mild diuretic and helping to maintain fluid balance. Texts such as the Charaka Samhita describe its use in promoting urinary health, managing dysuria, and supporting the excretory system. However, while these traditional uses are well-documented, direct scientific studies investigating Asparagus racemosus specifically for kidney health or protection are limited. Some preliminary research suggests the herb may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could theoretically benefit overall renal function, but these effects have not been substantiated in large-scale human trials focused on kidney health. Therefore, the use of Asparagus racemosus to support the kidneys is primarily justified by traditional practice, with limited scientific validation to date.
