Why several of these appear on other shelves too

Shatavari is the clearest case. It is the best known women's tonic in the formulary, and it is also classically shukrala, described for male reproductive tissue. Sukumaram Kashayam stands here for gynaecological use, and its classical indications include hernia in men. We have grouped by the concern people arrive with, not by who may buy.

If you are shopping for someone else, which is common here, search the formulation by name rather than browse the shelf. Every product on this store carries its classical name, and the search will find it.

Three things worth knowing

1. Most of these are unisex — Only three products in the entire range are genuinely sex-specific. The rest are classical formulations asked about most often by women.
2. Timing is part of the instruction — Several are traditionally taken in relation to the monthly cycle. The label carries this, and it is not incidental detail.
3. Pregnancy and nursing — Speak with your physician first, without exception. Some preparations here are traditionally set aside at these times.

Always read the label and directions on the pack you receive, and speak with your physician before starting anything new — particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, managing a health condition or taking prescription medicine.
