Abstract

Kashtartava (Dysmenorrhoea), or painful menstruation, is one of the leading causes of maximum absenteeism of females from school or the workplace. Though it is not a severe problem, it affects the quality of life and efficiency. The available treatment options include NSAIDs, antispasmodics, OCPs, TENS or surgical interventions like dilatation of the cervical canal, Presacral neurectomy and LUNA. These drugs have their side effects, and not many are convinced to use surgical methods for a minor ailment. Ayurveda, through various drug formulations and Panchkarma procedures, is undoubtedly a better choice. Kuberaksha Vati is one such formulation mentioned in Bharat Bhaishajya Ratnakar. This article is intended to illuminate the role of this drug in Kashtartava.
