Introduction
Kurilo—also known as Shatavari, Shatamuli, Nye
Shing (in some regions of Assam), and scientifically as Asparagus
racemosus—is one of the most highly valued medicinal herbs found in Nepal
and other South Asian countries. This herb is often referred to as “divine
medicine” and “nectar root” because of its wide range of healing properties. It
has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to treat various
physical and mental health conditions. Some even call it “The Queen of Herbs”
due to its particularly strong benefits for women’s health.
Kurilo is not just a remedy—it’s a natural gift that heals,
nourishes, and revitalizes the human body. And the best part? It grows wild in
Nepal’s hilly and mountainous regions, silently offering its blessings to those
who recognize its value.
Availability in Nepal and Other Countries
In Nepal, Kurilo grows naturally at elevations up to 2,100
meters. You can find it in forests, hillsides, and grasslands across
various districts. It doesn’t need heavy maintenance, which makes it ideal for
cultivation in rural and mid-hill areas. Many local farmers in Nepal have
started growing Kurilo commercially as an alternative to traditional crops.
It's even used to produce herbal milk substitutes!
Outside Nepal, Kurilo is also found in India,
especially in the Himalayan regions and parts of South India. It grows in Sri
Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and parts of Southeast Asia as well. With the
rise of natural and organic medicine, this humble root is now being studied and
promoted in Western countries too, especially in the field of women's
health supplements.
Physical Properties
Kurilo is a shrubby climbing plant that grows up to 3
to 5 feet tall. It has:
- Sharp
spines along the stem
- Very
fine, needle-like leaves
- Small
white flowers that bloom in bunches
- Its
roots are thick, long, and full of white milky sap
The root is the most valuable part of the plant. It has a
soft, fibrous texture when fresh and turns dry, brittle, and light brown when
processed.
Medicinal Properties
Shatavari or Kurilo is one of those herbs that checks all
the boxes—nutritious, calming, energizing, and healing. According to ancient
Ayurvedic texts, it has the following medicinal properties:
- Cooling
in nature (perfect for balancing internal heat)
- Agnideepak
– improves digestion
- Paushtik
– highly nutritious and strengthens the body
- Buddhivardhak
– enhances memory and brain function
- Kamoddeepak
– natural aphrodisiac
- Balakarak
– promotes energy and stamina
- Raktapitta
Nashak – helpful in blood disorders
- Galactagogue
– increases breast milk in nursing mothers
In short, Kurilo doesn’t just heal diseases—it helps build
up the body’s natural strength and defenses.
Advantages of Kurilo
Kurilo is so full of benefits that calling it just a herb
feels like an understatement. Here are a few key advantages:
- Boosts
immunity: Its antioxidant properties strengthen the body’s defense
system.
- Supports
reproductive health: Especially useful for women facing hormonal
issues, irregular periods, or low breast milk.
- Improves
digestion: Cures constipation, acidity, and even irritable bowel
conditions.
- Balances

health: Fresh juice is excellent for treating jaundice and other liver
problems.

well-being: Used in treating anxiety, depression, and even memory
loss.
- Controls
blood sugar and pressure: Helpful for diabetic and hypertensive
patients.
- Improves
sexual health: Strengthens reproductive organs and is effective
against premature ejaculation and low sperm count.
Traditional and Modern Uses
People in Nepal and other countries use Kurilo in various
ways. Here are some popular traditional and modern applications:

How to Use Kurilo
Preparing the Root
- Harvesting
time: Best collected in Kartik to Mangsir (October to December)
- Select
thick roots, avoiding thin or damaged ones
- Boil
or steam for 3–5 minutes to soften the outer skin
- Remove
the bark and dry the white core in the sun
- Once
fully dried, grind into powder and store in airtight containers

Harvesting and Preservation
Kurilo roots should be dug carefully to avoid
damaging the finer roots. After removing the bark and drying the white root, it
should be:
- Stored
in cloth bags or airtight jars
- Kept
in a cool, dry place
- Checked
regularly for moisture or fungal growth
Properly preserved Kurilo can last for up to a year without
losing its potency.
Conclusion
In a world rushing toward synthetic medicines and high-tech
health solutions, Kurilo stands out as a humble yet powerful natural remedy.
It’s affordable, locally available, and most importantly, it works. Whether you
want to improve your digestive health, strengthen your reproductive system, or
just build better immunity, this root offers a gentle, holistic path to
wellness.
Rishi Charak, one of Ayurveda’s greatest sages, considered
Shatavari not just a medicinal herb but a life-enhancing elixir. That
still holds true today.
So, if you're lucky enough to have access to this miracle
plant, don’t ignore it. Learn how to grow it, harvest it, and use it—not just
for yourself, but for your family, your community, and even your livestock. As
someone once said, planting Kurilo is not just good for your body—it’s an act
of wisdom.
