        abstract = {Background: Breastfeeding is essential for the nourishment and immunity of newborns. However, many lactating mothers face issues of insufficient milk production. Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), a well-known Ayurvedic galactagogue, has been traditionally used to promote lactation. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Shatavari Churna in enhancing breast milk production (Stanya Janana) in postpartum women. Methods: A clinical study was conducted on 30 lactating mothers aged 20–35 years with symptoms of insufficient lactation. Participants were administered Shatavari Churna (5 grams twice daily with milk) for 30 days. Assessment was based on subjective parameters (milk output, infant satisfaction, breast fullness) and objective indicators (infant weight gain, frequency of breastfeeding). Results: 83.3% of participants reported a marked improvement in breast milk quantity. Infant weight gain improved significantly in 76.6% of cases. No adverse effects were noted. The results support the galactagogue action of Shatavari Churna. Conclusion: Shatavari Churna is effective and safe in enhancing breast milk production in lactating women and can be recommended as a supportive Ayurvedic intervention for Stanya Janana.},
