Shatavari or Indian asparagus is the most important herb in Ayurvedic medicine for dealing with problems connected women's fertility [1].
The herb’s rhizome is a soothing tonic that works mainly on the circulatory, digestive, respiratory and female reproductive organs [1].
Asparagus’ roots are antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, demulcent, diuretic, galactogogue and refrigerant [2, 3].
Shatavari can be taken internally in the treatment of infertility, loss of libido, threatened miscarriage, menopausal troubles, hyperacidity, stomach ulcers and bronchial infections [1].
The whole plant of Indian asparagus is used in the treatment of diarrhea, rheumatism, diabetes and brain complaints [3].
The powdered dried root of Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) has been used in Ayurveda for dyspepsia (Amlapitta i.e. acid regurgitation) and to increase milk secretion in a lactating mother. One of the herbs containing Asparagus racemosus as its major components has been reported to cause significant rise in scrum prolactin levels [4].
An alcoholic extract of Asparagus racemosus has been shown to increase the prolactin levels in female rats [7].
Metoclopramide, a dopamine receptor antagonist with a poor penetration of the blood-brain barrier, is used in radiology and in persons with dyspepsia to increase the rate of emptying the content of the stomach, and also causes increase in milk secretion by increasing prolactin levels. With a working hypothesis that the therapeutic effects of Asparagus racemosus can be due to a principle containing dopamine receptor antagonist activity, it was therefore decided to compare Shatavari and metoclopramide for their effects on gastric emptying time [5], [6].

The immuno-adjuvant potential of Asparagus racemosus (Willd.) Family (Liliaceae) aqueous root extract was evaluated in experimental animals immunized with diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP) vaccine. Immuno-stimulation was evaluated using serological and hematological parameters. Oral administration of test material at 100 mg/kg per day dose for 15 days resulted significant increase in antibody titers to Bordtella pertussis as compared to untreated (control) animals. Immunized animals (treated and untreated) were challenged with B. pertussis 18323 strain and the animals were observed for 14 days. Results indicate that the treated animals did show significant increase in antibody titers as compared to untreated animals after challenge. Immuno-protection against intra-cerebral challenge of live B. pertussis cells was evaluated based on degree of sickness, paralysis and subsequent death. Reduced mortality accompanied with overall improved health status was observed in treated animals after intra-cerebral challenge of B. pertussis indicating development of protective immune response. Present study indicates applications of test material as potential immuno-adjuvant that also offers direct therapeutic benefits resulting in less morbidity and mortality.

Bioassay-directed fractionation of the dried roots of Asparagus cochinchinensis led to the isolation of a new spirostanol saponin, asparacoside (1), two new C-27 spirosteroids, asparacosins A (2) and B (3), a new acetylenic derivative, 3' '-methoxyasparenydiol (4), and a new polyphenol, 3'-hydroxy-4'-methoxy-4'-dehydroxynyasol (6), as well as five known phenolic compounds, asparenydiol (5), nyasol (7), 3' '-methoxynyasol (8), 1,3-bis-di-p-hydroxyphenyl-4-penten-1-one (9), and trans-coniferyl alcohol (10). Compounds 1, 6, and 8 demonstrated moderate cytotoxicities in a panel comprised of KB, Col-2, LNCaP, Lu-1, and HUVEC cells, with IC(50) values ranging from 4 to 12 microg/mL. The structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. (Bioactive constituents from Asparagus cochinchinensis. J Nat Prod. 2004 Feb; 67(2):194-200.)
