Abstract

Now-a-days, it is seen that the prevalence of Gynaecological disorders is increasing day by day. Modern lifestyle such as fast food, irregular timings of meal and sleep etc are one of the cause for this. In ancient science, the Codes and Conducts have been mentioned for the each and every life event. While in the Modern Science, no any specific Codes and Conducts are advised. Out of all life events, the most precious and most sensitive life event is the menstruation phase of a female. The quality of the menstruation reflects the reproductive health of a female. Hence, it is necessary to maintain the quality of the menstruation by following some Do’s and Don’ts. These Do’s and Don’ts are precisely mentioned in the Ayurveda Classics and it is known as Rajaswala Paricharya. Also the correlation between the Modern physiology of Menstruating phase and Rajaswala Paricharya will suggest to follow the Rajaswala Paricharya. As it is impossible to follow the Rajaswala Paricharya as mentioned in the Classics. But it is possible to follow it with some modifications. By following the Rajaswala Paricharya, many complications related with menstruation and infertility can be avoided, as prevention is better than cure. Though at present era it is somewhat ignored, but it has still importance in the menstruating female. So, Rajaswala Paricharya can be used as preventive major against the complications related to menstruation.

Keywords: Rajaswala Paricharya, Modern physiology of menstruation, Rajaswala Paricharya as preventive major.
