Abstract

Menstrual blood is regarded in Ayurveda as an updhatu of rasa dhatu. In women, it often starts at age twelve and lasts until age fifty. It is a monthly bleeding that lasts for three to five days. Currently, the term "normal menstruation" refers to cyclical bleeding from the uterine corpus that takes place between menarche and menopause. Rajastravakala, Ritukala, and Rituvyatitkala are the three phases of the artavachakra (menstrual cycle), which correlate to menstruation, proliferation with ovulation, and secretory phases of the endometrium, respectively. The ritukala is a woman's endometrial cycle's fertile time. Artava is referred to by a number of different names, including Rutu, Raja, Shonita, Lohita, Pushpa, and Bija. In this article, an effort has been made to identify any potential connections between this phrase and examples from contemporary physiology.
