Abstract
Hormonal imbalance, PCOD, menstrual irregularities and infertility are the leading problems affecting women’s health in today’s times. Allopathic medicines and treatments have their limitations and are very expensive, too. Hence, this study aims to find a safe and cost-effective alternative to Ayurveda. In Ayurved Samhitas, Kashyapa has given a collection of symptoms, which consist of menstrual irregularities like amenorrhea, menorrhagia, repeated abortions, weak progeny and infertility under the heading Artav-vyapad . The treatment modality of Artav vyapad is described in Kashyap samhita under Shatavari –Shatapushpa Adhyaya page no. 181. The Phalashruti of Shatapushpa is impressive and includes all the previously mentioned disorders. A well-specified regimen of oral intake of Shatpushpa Churna and Panchakarma like Snehan, Nasya and Basti with Shatapushpa oil is described. This study evaluates the potential use of Shatpushpa and establishes a cost-effective treatment for it. A clinical trial was carried out under the MUHS - LTRG project on 36 patients aged between 20- and 40-years having complaints of irregular menstruation with Anovulatory cycles.
