Shatavari Root usage in Havan

Shatavari root is a popular herb that has been used in India for centuries as a remedy for a variety of ailments. It has even been used traditionally as part of the Havan ceremony, a Vedic fire ritual commonly practised in India. Shatavari comes from two Sanskrit words – “shata”, which means hundred and “vari”, meaning roots or strengths. This term is symbolic of the many health benefits this root offers.

The first mention of Shatavari Root usage in Havan can be found in ancient Indian texts such as Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. These texts state that when Shatavari Root is offered with other herbs to the divine fire during the Havan ceremony, it promotes longevity, strength and good health.
