Abstract

Ayurveda, categorizes the body’s constituents within three essential elements Dosha (tissue entities), Dhatu (biological entities), and Mala, or waste materials. (दोषधातुमलंमूलंहिशारीरम। वासू१). The balance among these entities is crucial for longevity and healthy lives. In women when the Vatadi dosha and the Rasadi dhatu are in a balanced State then follicular development, ovulation and menstruation occur at the proper time and then there is less possibility of being AUB, anovulation, infertility, PCOD, tubal blockage and chances of repeated abortion etc. in brief there is a minimal risk of Artava vyapada and Yonivyapad as per ayurvedic view. In ancient times for balancing these Dosha and Dhatu, shodhan and shaman therapy were used. with the help of shodhan therapy the toxins were removed from their body and withshaman therapy the imbalanced dosha, dhatu’s were brought into balanced, these Vatadi doshas also regulates the body’s agni (digestive/metabolic fire) and the formation and nourishment of the dhatus and upadhatus depend on different types of agni (Jatharagni, bhutagni and Dhatvagni). पुष्पंतुजायतेयस्याः फलञ्चापिनविद्यते। तस्यदोषविकारञ्चज्ञात्वाकर्समारभेत्।। (बा.त. 1/6) This verse explains the importance of the Vatadi dosha and describes how the dosha are involved in nourishing and maturing the “pushpa,” that is ovum and finally the formation of the phala (progeny).
