Abstract

This case study examines the efficacy of an Ayurvedic intervention in managing Artava Kshaya, a condition characterized by oligomenorrhea and hypomenorrhea. An 18-year-old female presenting with a two-year history of irregular cycles, scanty flow (2-3 days), and dysmenorrhea was treated with a tailored protocol of Ajmodadi Churna, Rajapravartani Vati, and Kumaryasava for a specified duration. The assessment, based on a subjective scoring system for cycle duration, interval, flow quantity, and pain, revealed significant improvement. All pre-treatment scores of 2-3 were reduced to 0 post-treatment, demonstrating the regimen's success in normalizing menstrual cycle parameters and alleviating pain. This study highlights the potential of a holistic Ayurvedic approach in addressing the root cause of menstrual irregularities.
