Abstract

Ayurvedic Science has given prior importance to health and hygiene of women. After menarche a women may suffer from different gynaechological disorders as like raktapradara. Raktapradara is a condition in which there is excessive flow of menstrual blood, either in quantity or in duration. It is a symptom of various yoni vyapads and artavadushtis. It is a raktapradoshaja vyadhi due to pittavritta apana vayu causing the vitiation of rakta dhatu. In modern science, we can consider raktapradara as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding. Ayurvedic science has given a great contribution in management and treatment of raktapradar by using different formulations which are rich in Kashaya rasa and Tikta rasa because both of these rasas have the property of astringent i.e., Stambhana guna in Ayurveda and by sodhan chikitsa.
