Abstract

Introduction- Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being during which the reproductive process is carried out. It is not only the absence of sickness or diseases of the reproductive process. Aside from the physical discomfort related to the menstrual cycle, most women also suffer changes in mood and behaviour. Premenstrual syndrome is a psycho-neuro-endocrine condition that frequently manifests soon before menstruation and has an unknown aetiology. During the final 7–10 days of the menstrual cycle, a substantial number of symptoms recur on a regular basis. Material & Method- The first step of the study was gathering information that has already been published about Basti using web resources like PubMed, Scopus, Research Gate, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The material that was pertinent was chosen for sorting. Result- According to Ayurveda, when providing medicine, we must always take into consideration a patient's digestive fire (agni), body toxins (ama), and overall body strength (ojas). The first stage in the digestive system's recovery is a diet that balances the doshas. Ama is addressed by purging the body, either with Pancha Karma, which is Ayurveda's most potent technique of doing so, or through palliation, which is a gentler method for those with low ojas. A person's vikruti (current state of health), which is dependent on their diet and lifestyle choices, will help them create strong ojas. Discussion- Ayurveda is aware of the doshas in the body and can offer advice that is more suited to the individual's constitution and the particulars of their circumstance. Vata is the dosha that contributes most to the imbalance that results in PMS, hence soothing Vata must be the major goal of general treatment.
