Abstract
Childbirth is a natural process. Early delivery without complications and the need for a Cesarean section is the dream of every pregnant woman and her family. But sometimes, labour pains may not progress well and cause impatience among women due to delayed labour. Oxytocin and prostaglandins are used in practice for induction of labour (IOL), but it may cause uterine overstimulation, and hence, in that case, the C-section is prioritized. Acharya Sushruta, Vagabhatt, Yogaratnakar, and Bhavaprakasha have prescribed certain drugs for the treatment of “delay in labour”. Vitiated Vayu is said to be a cause for delay in labour, and drugs prescribed work effectively on Vayu.
