What does a woman want?
For thousands of years, the planet Earth has been dominated by patriarchy (male dominance in society). And only recently have democratic achievements formally equalized women with men. As a child, I was sure that boys are “more important” than girls. With age, this confidence weakened somewhat and gradually faded away.
While a man is wasting his strength on strengthening his pedestal, confirming his external leadership and significance, a woman, like a gray eminence, actually rules this world, pulling the strings of male pride.
A woman is the keeper of the family hearth: household wealth and comfort, children and her husband himself. A woman collects and accumulates energy, motivates and directs a man’s activity. And nature has generously endowed a woman with the qualities necessary for this role: intuition, endurance, tolerance, flexibility, beauty and grace.
And one more priceless gift was made by nature to a woman – this is Shatavari – a plant that has been faithfully serving a woman for thousands of years, helping her to maintain her feminine health and making her dreams of love and a child come true.
Success in men
Shatavari is the Sanskrit name adopted in Ayurveda. Literally translated, this word means “one hundred husbands.” Its tonic and rejuvenating effect on the female reproductive system, according to popular beliefs, allows a woman to have guaranteed success with men and makes it possible to “have a hundred husbands”.
