Abstract

Quality of woman’s life is dependent on many factors such as the culture and position in society, environment, life-style and changing demands of society towards her. Ayurveda recognize these changes in women’s body and provide simple regimen to maintain healthy life throughout. On the basis of pathogenesis, signs and symptoms of uterine fibroid, we can correlate it with Mansaja Arbuda. This study is aimed to justify management of uterine fibroid in Ayurvedic perspective with an intention to raise awareness and to encourage implementation of Ayurvedic therapies in such type of disorders. The treatment approach is directed towards reducing size of fibroids and it’s symptoms by using Shaman Chikista i.e. Varun Shigru Guggulu vati and Triphaladi Guggulu vati. Methodology: Research work was a randomized comparative clinical study of 40 patients with cardinal feature of uterine fibroid. Subjects were randomly divided in to 2 Groups of 20 subjects each. Group A, was treated with Triphaladi Guggulu vati and Group B, Varun Shigru Guggulu for a period of 3 month. Result: clinical parameters were assessed statistically. Both the Groups showed statistically significant results. Statistically there was no significant difference between the group in parameter of menstrual abnormalities, pain during menses, pain and heaviness in lower abdomen, back pain, constipation. Interpretation and conclusion: Group B, (Varun Shigru Guggulu) showed higher response as compare to Group A, (Triphaladi Guggulu vati) in the management of Garbhashaya Arbuda.
