*Dr. Radhika Satheesan and Dr. Suchetha Kumari

Abstract

Endometrium acts as the wallpaper of the uterine cavity which is influenced by the steroid hormones. Menstruation marks the shedding of this layer which grows during the secretary phase of the menstrual cycle and makes it ready for the implantation process. The endometrium helps maintain the pregnancy by forming a 3 layered stroma. This endometrium helps in the implantation of the embryo and its further growth throughout its intra uterine stay. So an improper endometrium gives rise to loss of receptiveness and improper nourishment to fetus.[1] The tridoshas are equally responsible for this defect with a major cause with the vitiated kapha. The kapha that gets vitiated does avarana to the vitiated vata dosha. This vata that traverses through the srotases caused srotorodha due to its avarana caused by kapha and thus the rasa carried through these srotases into the garbhasaya will get clogged and will not reach the garbhasaya. As the rasa does not reach the garbhasaya the nourishment factor becomes poor. The drugs in the medicine are having kapha - vata hara property capable of removing the vitiated kapha and remove the avarana thus correcting the srotas and vata favouring the growth of endometrium. The medicine that was used for the study is tilabharangyadi kwatha mentioned in the raktagulma chiktsa in ashtanga hridaya chikitsa sthana.[2]
