Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a clinical condition characterized by severe uterine pain during menstruation. It is one of the most common gynecological complaints observed. It has a high impact on women’s quality of life. Dysmenorrhea is explained as an Udavartini Yonivyapad in Ayurveda. In modern medicine it is treated by oral hormonal pills, NSAIDs and analgesics. Long term use of this produces side effects. Thus, they aren’t the solution to this problem. As per Ayurveda, Vatahar procedure is the main line of treatment for Yonivyapadas. Many herbal preparations are mentioned for the management of Udavartini Yonivyapad. According to Arkaprakash Erandmool Arka (Shwet Eranda) possess Vatahar and Shoolhar properties. Hence, a single case study was taken to evaluate the efficacy of Erandmool Arka in Dysmenorrhea.
