Abstract

is a transformative event in a woman’s life. It is one of the most tremendous and worthwhile event for mother. The onset of motherhood presents a unique set of physical, emotional, psychological challenges and it is usually a painful experience. Thus effort should be take place with unfathomable repose and minimum level of stress that help in easy natural birth. Normal labour is the process by which the complete products of conception are expelled out through the parturient canal. Abnormalities in either of these may result in dystocia or abnormal labour. An abnormal labor or dystocia, simply means difficult labor or childbirth. From a functional perspective, the only essential features of labou0r are cervical dilation and fetal descent. In cervical dystocia, cervix fails to dilate. Cervical dystocia if not diagnosed and treated, can lead to maternal/fetal morbidity and even the mother’s mortality. Potaki and Kebuka both were selected for present research work due to their properties that facilitate smooth and easy delivery.

Keywords: labour, cervical, Potaki, Kebuka, dystocia.
