Shatavari Ghrita (Ayurvedic Ghee) – Classical Pitta-Balancing Formulation in A2 Gir Cow Ghee | 100ml

Shatavari Ghrita is a classical Ayurvedic medicated ghee (ghrita) described in Bhaishajya Ratnavali, quoting Chakradatta. Goseva prepares it at its AYUSH-licensed unit in Jasdan, Gujarat. The base is Bilona-method A2 Gir cow ghee. It is slow-cooked with fresh Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) root juice, desi cow milk and 12 classical herbs, following the text step by step.

In the classical text, Shatavari Ghrita is described as pitta-shamak (pitta-pacifying) and cooling. It is indicated for burning sensations of the body and head, burning urination of pitta origin, and pitta-related disorders. It is also described as promoting bala (strength), varna (complexion) and agni (digestive fire).

Quick Facts

Shatavari Ghrita Ingredients

As per Bhaishajya Ratnavali, the following are prepared together:

• Gir cow ghee (Go-ghrita), base
• Shatavari root juice / decoction, 2 parts to ghee
• Desi cow milk (Go-dugdh), 2 parts to ghee
• Kalka (herbal paste) of 12 herbs, equal parts: Jeevak, Rishabhak, Meda, Mahameda, Kakoli, Ksheerkakoli, Mridvika (Munakka / raisin), Madhuk (Mulethi / licorice), Mudgaparni, Mashaparni, Vidarikand and Rakta Chandan (red sandalwood)
• Sharkara (mishri) and Madhu (honey), added after the ghee cools

How Goseva Makes Shatavari Ghrita

1. The Gir cow ghee is first purified (murchhana).
2. Fresh Shatavari juice and the 12-herb paste, ground by hand on a stone sil, are added and cooked on a low flame.
3. When the juice dries, cow milk and water are added and slow-cooked for hours until only the ghee and the herbal properties remain.
4. The ghee is tested for correct paak (siddhi lakshan), then filtered through cloth.
5. Mishri and honey are mixed in once it cools, and it is stored in glass.

Each batch takes about 3 days. For a 5 kg batch, we use 10 kg of fresh Shatavari juice and 10 litres of Gir cow milk.
