Abstract :
Background:
In the rapidly advancing and globalized world, the number of working women is continuously increasing. Due to their
busy lifestyle, many are unable to follow traditional Paricharyas described in the Ayurvedic classics, such as Rajaswala
Paricharya and Sutika Paricharya. As a result, women are becoming more susceptible to various menstrual disorders. It is
estimated that approximately one-fifth of women experience heavy menstrual bleeding at some point during their
reproductive years. One such common condition is Menorrhagia.
Menorrhagia is defined as cyclic menstrual bleeding occurring at normal intervals but excessive either in amount (>80
ml), duration (>7 days), or both. Prolonged and heavy bleeding often leads to psychological disturbances such as discomfort
during daily activities, lack of concentration, and emotional stress. Furthermore, Menorrhagia is a major contributing
factor for iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia, which have significant adverse effects on women’s health.
In Ayurveda, Acharyas have explained both Shamana Chikitsa and Shodhana Chikitsa for the management of
Asrigdara. Bhaishajya Ratnavali describe the use of Raktapradarahara Churna and pushyanuga Churna, as effective
Shamana remedies. These drugs possess Kashaya and Madhura Rasa, Shita Virya, and Madhura Vipaka, contributing to
their Pitta-shamana and Stambhana actions. As both herbs are easily available and affordable, they are selected for this
study
Materials and Methods:
The present study was Randomised clinical study where 40 subjects diagnosed with Asrugdara was taken in 2 groups
with 20 subjects in each group.
Conclusion:
Raktapradarahara churna is found to be more effective in managing the Asrugdara w.s.r. AUB.
