It is the need of the era that secure and absolute therapy of sensitive problem should be developed. Tubal blockage is one of the most important factor for female infertility. Infertility seen with tubal blockage in 25-30% of cases. We had selected a patient who had B/L tubal blockage. A patient 29 year, nulligravida with married life since 5 years and wanted to conceive since 4 years. Patient visited PGI hospital for infertility and diagnosed with PID and during diagnostic procedures her HSG report showed B/L tubal blockage twice. When she visited us for opinion, we planned a treatment Lekhana Basti with DashmoolaKwath and Anuvasana Basti with Saindhavadi Taila and Uttar Basti with Phalkalyan Ghrita for two consecutive cycles with positive outcome. Only tubal recanalization operative procedure is recommended by modern practitioners in such cases with unpredictable success rate. In Ayurvedic classics majority of gynaecological disorders have been described under the heading of Yonivyapada. Acharya Susruta mentioned Vandhya (infertility) among twenty Yonivyapada and Basti is like nector to treat Vandhya. Because there is predominance of Vata dosha. To pacify Vata, Basti is regarded as best treatment. Present paper depicts evidence based approach to manage tubal blockage with Basti karma.
