Shatavari Kalpa question

[Guest guest]

We made our first batch on Tuesday - without experienced guidance it maybe is a

little well cooked but very good nonetheless. Somehow I had it in my mind it

might turn into an avaleha (herbal jam) though clearly the recipe is much

simpler, that's very valuable. When might we choose a Shatavari avaleha over

this recipe?

 

Nomi asked the question, what to do for lactation support if Mama is kinda

heavy, sticky, ama laden body channels, especially low agni. She wondered if

using vidari kanda (relative of wild yam) would serve her better.

 

Adjustments to the shatavari kalpa alone may be made, adding ginger or pippali.

This mama if kapha body type normally is more likely to be an abundant milk

producer anyway, but if not - I haven't worked with yam or vidari this way and

we are curious. Certainly would think of it for Mama tending towards gall

bladder/fat metabolism issues.

 

As shatavari is more estrogenic in nature (even though acting with various hats

depending upon body's needs) and vidari and wild yam are more inclined for

progesterone, even though sometimes used for lactation support, my hormonal

intelligence in western thinking leaves some questions hanging too.
