Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Asparagus racemosus, commonly known as Shatavari, is primarily used in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine systems. Its use to support or treat night sweating, especially in women undergoing menopause, is rooted in traditional practices rather than robust scientific evidence. In Ayurveda, Asparagus racemosus is classified as a cooling and nourishing herb, believed to balance female hormones and reduce symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes and night sweats. However, there is very limited direct scientific research specifically linking Asparagus racemosus to the treatment or reduction of night sweating. Existing clinical trials and studies mostly focus on its general adaptogenic, galactagogue (milk-producing), and reproductive health effects. While some animal and small human studies suggest possible estrogenic or hormone-modulating properties, rigorous clinical trials examining its effects on night sweats are lacking. Thus, its use for night sweating is justified by tradition and anecdotal reports rather than solid scientific validation.
