It is a source of plant-derived estrogens, making Shatavari a healthy choice for women. <em>Asparagus</em> is one of the medicinal plants that are being exported from Nepal in wild form.  Quality of a medicinal plant is determined by its Physico-chemical Parameters and the amount of active principle. In this paper the study of various parameters of <em>Asparagus</em> from eight different localities are presented.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> <em>Asparagus racemosus</em>; Physico-chemical Parameters; Plant-derived estrogens; Standardization; Saponins.</p> <p><em>Bulletin of the Department of Plant Resources</em> Vol. 30, 2008, pp 102-104.</p> ER -
