Sitawari (Shatavari) is a famous Indian herb for
women. This herb is considered a tonic and
adaptogenic, restoring balance in many conditions.
Sitawari can be utilized on a daily basis without fear of
side effects.
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) also helps
gastric ulcers and gastric emptying. It is an
Ayurvedic rasayana, which is mentioned in various ancient
Indian texts for the treatment of gastric ulcers,
galactogogue, and the stabilization of female
hormones. The ulcer-protective effect of the
methanolic extract from the fresh roots of the Shatavari
extract has been studied in different animal
models. It helped prevent mucosal lining of the
stomach by increasing mucus secretion and at the same
time stabilizing the production of acid and pepsin
(an enzyme secreted by the stomach linings).
Combined effects of the acid and pepsin helped the
lifespan of cells and reduced the irritation in the
stomach lining. On the contrary, the drugs
available are called anti-secretery compounds, or
proton pump inhibitors like Aciphex. They are
supposed to reduce acid production, not increase it.
Interestingly, most of the patients with
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) usually have
low acid production. By suppressing acid production
further, we end up putting the digestion in jeopardy and
not absorbing other nutrients. We also end up
deficient in Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid.
When compared with a modern drug, Metoclopramide
(commonly used in dyspepsia to reduce gastric emptying
time), both the drug and the herb showed similar effects
in gastric emptying. Also, the roots of
Asparagus racemosus showed considerable in-vitro
antibacterial properties that are comparable with
chloramphenicol (a strong antibiotic).
Heliobacter pylori is a bacteria known to cause
gastric ulcers and GERD, and Shatavari helps combat
that as well. Considering all these properties, it
make perfect sense to use Shatavari for gastric
ulcers.
