Abstract

Rajaswala means menstruating woman and Charya means mode of living. This Rajaswala Paricharya is the most neglected part in the society. So many writers and scientists have discussed the menstrual cycle by giving various similes. But one remark made by the gynaecologist is very relevant – ‘the tears shed by the uterus in the pain of not getting pregnant is menstruation.’ What an appropriate description of menstruation ! The above line shows the importance of proper menstruation. Now-a-days problems related to menstruation are increasing. This is happening due to improper lifestyle. Somewhere it is related to not following proper Rajaswala Paricharya. Therefore it is necessary to follow the Rajaswala Paricharya. For Supraja Jananam Shuddha Aartava is necessary. For this preconceptional care is also important. This is related with the Rajaswala Paricharya. Therefore it is necessary to educate the society regarding the Rajaswala Paricharya put forth in the Ayurved in order to maintain the Doshas, which in turn maintains the health.
