Abstract

All the gynaecological conditions in Ayurvedic texts are described under the one heading ‘Yonivyapad’. The word Yoni refers to the female reproductive organs and Vyapad means disorders or ailments. The disease and causes which interfere with the development of female reproductive system like vulvovaginitis, congential anomalies, displacement etc. are covered in Yonivyapad. There are twenty yonivyapads described in all classics and Shleshmala yonivyapad is one among them. It is one of the most prevaling and burning problem faced by women all around the globe. The disease can be identified on the basis of symptoms like picchla yoni srava, kandu, sheetalta, alpavedana and pandu varna and pandu artava srava. Acharyas have mentioned the use of various local therapies like yonivarti, yoni pichu, yoni dhupan etc. for the effective treatment of yonivyapads. Acharya Charak in Charak samhita chikitsasthan adhyaya 30 have quoted the use of udumbaradi tail yoni pichu in kaphaj yonivyapad. The main content of this oil are udumbar fruit, panchvalkal, malti, nimbapatra, laksha, shalmali and tila tail. Many of these ingredients are kashaya rasa pradhan having stambhak, vranaropak and shothahar properties. Hence showing anti- inflammatory, antiseptic and antimicrobial activity thus helping to reduce the symptoms of disease. This preparation of oil is so effective that Acharya Charak mentions that it can cure darun yoni in only seven days when used as yoni pichu.
