The herb Ashoka has been widely used as an ayurvedic medicine since centuries. It is a very useful herb to manage many female health problems.
Menstrual Problems
According to ayurrveda Ashoka (saraca indica) or also known as asoca, bark powder is an effective uterine tonic, it helps to tone the uterus, easing heavy menstrual flow and relieving discomfort. The bark of ashoka also contains natural phytoestrogens which help to regulate the menstrual cycle, stimulating the uterus to normalise menstrual flow. It is also rich in flavonoids, tannins and glycosides that work as a uterine sedative that has a direct impact on the fibres present in the muscles of the uterus.
Ashoka can be effectively used to aid with a number of uncomfortable menstrual disorders such as; Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Amenorrhea (absent periods), Dysmenorrhea (painful periods) and Menorrhagia (heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding).
Menopause
Supports the hormonal balance & helps to ease the menopause symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood swings and weight gain
Infertility
Ashoka is considered particularly effective for female infertility and endometriosis. One study, published in "Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice", identified Ashoka as one of the herbal remedies used by traditional healers in remote areas of India to successfully treat “reproductive disorders”.
An article published in the "Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research", explored some of the infertility treatments popular amongst Indian women. It said, “The drug of choice for female infertility is Ashoka, by its astringent taste and cold potency, it strengthens the uterus. It stops the bleeding by contracting the uterine blood vessels and promoting uterine muscular contraction. It stimulates the uterine function by stimulating the (endometrium) and the ovarian functions”.
It is important to note that diet and lifestyle were also addressed during treatment. The success of Ashoka in the treatment of infertility in women may be linked to the herb’s ability to successfully treat endometrios - one of the leading causes of infertility in women.

Whilst Ashoka really does shine as a herb to support women throughout each stage of their reproductive lives, other benefits include:
