Materials and Methods: A total of 30 patients were selected for the present research work and randomly divided into two groups of 15 patients each. In Group A, patients were treated with Phaltrikadi Kwath orally in a dose of 40ml orally two times in a day with Madhu before meal, for 7 days and 8 drops of Nasya in each nostril for 5 days after cessation of the menstrual cycle, while in Group B, patients were given Phaltrikadi Kwath orally in a dose of 40ml orally two times in a day with Madhu before meal, for 7 days and Pathya for 30 days. After conducting the clinical trial on 30 patients, the data was obtained and analysed statistically.
