ABSTRACT

Asparagus racemosus, popularly referred to as Shatavari in both Hindi and Sanskrit, is considered one of the greatest important therapeutic plants around. The use of A. racemosus as a galactotgogue and for preventing and treating stomach ulcers and dyspepsia is suggested in Ayurvedic writings. Additionally, it helps with inflammation, neurological disorders, liver problems, and even some viral infections. Phytochemical analysis of the extracts in this research indicated the presence of a variety of chemicals in extracts. According to the findings of a research that investigated the phytochemical properties of A. racemosus, this plant has the potential to be used in the development of novel medicines.

Keywords: Phytochemical, Screening, Asparagus racemosus willd.
