Abstract
Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of health gives a detail description of Stree Roga. Women combat with quite common gynecological problems like white discharge, itching at vulva, foul smelling vaginal discharge, burning micturition etc. Sthanik Chikitsa has given excellent results in these problems. Sthanik Chikitsa preferably includes Yonidhawan (Douching per vaginum), Yoni-Pichu (Tampooning per vaginum), Yoni Dhoopan (Fumigation of vagina), Yoni-Varti (Vaginal suppository), Yoni-Lepana (Vaginal painting), Uttarbasti (Medicated oil or decoction is pushed into the uterine cavity through vagina), Agnikarma (Cauterization) and Ksharakarma (Chemical cauterization) etc. In the present study all these local therapies are revised through ancient Samhitas, and these therapies are reviewed with their meanings, indications, procedures, application site and probable mode of actions. It is my sincere and optimistic effort to encourage most of the Ayurveda physician towards Sthanik Chikitsa in the management of Stree Rogas. Keywords: Sthanikchikitsa, Local therapies, Stree Roga.
