To Evaluate the efficacy of Aahara –Vihara on Stanya Kshaya in Healthy Female Volunteers of different Deha Prakriti
Abstract
Ayurveda is a practical science that deals with physiological and pathological status of human beings. Acharyas of Ayurveda has classified the elements of the body under three fundamental components Dosa, Dhatu and Mala. Though the basic elements are categorised under these three groups but some elements are left which are not defined. These specialised group of elements termed as Updhatu. Upa is suggestive of ‘Proximity’ and close resemblance to the term Dhatu. So in nutshell, it could be said that Updhatu is derivative of Dhatu and has some resemblance in terms of structure, function, and nature. The present study evaluate the role of the efficacy of Aahara–Vihara on Stanyaksaya in healthy female volunteers of different Deha Prakriti.The study was undertaken on 30 Females having Stanyaksaya and baby in Ksirapa Avastha in a single group. The duration of therapy was 3 months. The patients were followed up every 2 weeks.This trial revealed that this disease is common in VataKapha Prakriti patients. After treatment, statistically significant (p<0.01) reduction was observed in selected parameters. We found that the Aahara-Vihara was found effective in Stanyaksaya. On the basis of above observation, it may be recommended that this diet (Ahara-Vihara) is a safe and effective in the management of Stanyakshaya.
