Abstract

The slogan „Healthy Women, Healthy World‟ embodies the fact that as custodians of family health, women play a critical role in maintaining the health and well-being of their communities. Apart from social and professional commitments a woman is committed to her role as wife and mother. This added strain in her physical and psychological framework can prove deleterious unless proper care is taken. The weak link in this chain and the one which is most likely to get disturbed is the menstrual rhythm and the fertility. Menstrual cycle is a unique phenomenon in the body which includes monthly change in the hormones, which ends finally with the shedding of the endometrium. If there is any change in these phenomena, it leads to menstrual irregularities. Asrigdara is a broad term and includes most of the diseases with cardinal symptom of excessive per vaginal bleeding. It is highly prevalent gynaecological disease and can be co-related to Dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The health of a woman to a large extent depends on the normalcy of her menstrual cycle. As Asrigdara is a debilitating disorder which ends up with physical and psychological upsets disturbing her daily routine, the woman requires safe and effective treatment. Ayurvedic texts have described a variety of treatment options in the management of “Asrigdara”. So the present study is under taken to evaluate the efficacy of Mudgaadya ghrita.
