Abstract

Yoni Shuddhata is one among the major fundamentals for a healthy offspring. All the Ayurvedic classics have given the number of Yoni vyapad as twenty under which most of the gynaecological disorders are explained. Practically all the yoniyapadas disturb the life of woman in one way or other. Achrana yonivyapad is among twenty yonivyapadas described in our Ayurvedic texts and has features quite parallel or close to pruritus vulvae. About 10% of women came with complaint of pruritis vulvae in gynaecological clinics. The sufferer from intractable puritus is in worse plight than one who experiences pain because itching is not relieved by the simple expedient of giving analgesics. So to deal with such an intractable problem the present study has been planned. In this present research work 10 patients of Acharana Yonivyapad (Pruritus vulvae) were studied. They were treated by local application of Yonikanduhar malhar. The duration of the treatment was 21 days in with weekly evaluation of the patients. The analysis based on subjective and objective parameters reveled that this drug is found to be effective to treat the problem.
