Abstract

Disorders encountered in the OPDs of prasuti tantra & stree roga are specific to age & phase of the woman‟s reproductive life. They are again variants of menstrual disorders & disorders of pregnancy. Most of them have a specific reason (cause) for the development of the disease, while some are idiopathic (unknown origin). These disorders of unknown origin are difficult to understand & even more difficult to treat; probably because the cause is obscure. While seeing from the Ayurvedic perspective we may think about sahaja vyadhis, daiva or graha doshas as the cause for these diseases of unknown origin & Jataharini is one such graha dosha. These are a spectrum of diseases caused by affliction of Revathi graha in the form of Jataharini at various stages of women‟s reproductive age. In this conceptual study a modern perspective of these Jataharini based on their general cause, general & specific symptoms are described. The common ante natal disorders or complications where Jataharini should be one of the considerations for an ayurvedic obstetrician.
