        abstract = {Infertility, or Vandhyatva, is a growing concern in modern reproductive medicine, affecting nearly 10–15% of couples globally. Among its various causes, anovulation—the absence of ovulation—is a primary factor in female infertility, often seen in disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), hypothalamic dysfunction, or stress-related hormonal imbalance. From the Ayurvedic perspective, anovulation is understood as Beeja Dushti or Artava Kshaya, often resulting from vitiation of Apana Vata and disruption in Shukra Dhatu. Shatavari Ghrita, a classical Ayurvedic formulation mentioned in authoritative texts like Bhaishajya Ratnavali, is traditionally used in the management of female reproductive disorders including Vandhyatva. It combines the Rasayana, Garbhasthapana (uterine tonic), and Artavajanana (menstruation-regulating) effects of Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) with the Samskara-enhancing, bioavailability-promoting qualities of Go-Ghrita (cow’s ghee). This review article aims to critically explore the relevance of Shatavari Ghrita in managing anovulatory infertility. Classical indications, pharmacodynamic properties, and contemporary research findings have been analyzed to understand its efficacy. The formulation demonstrates potential in improving ovarian function, regulating menstrual cycles, enhancing hormonal balance, and providing nourishment to the reproductive tissues. Clinical and experimental data suggest that Shatavari Ghrita may be a safe, natural, and effective alternative or adjuvant to conventional ovulation-inducing agents, with additional Rasayana benefits.},
