A case study on the management of Garbhini Chardi w.s.r. to Emesis Gravidarum

Abstract

Pregnancy is regarded as the most delicate time in a women life. Maternal physiology is under continuous adaption throughout the pregnancy. One such bothersome side effect of such physiological changes occurring during pregnancy is Emesis Gravidarum which has significant impact on pregnant women life, including everyday functioning and general wellbeing. As Chardi is considered a Vyakta Garbha Lakshana it is not associated with much harm to growing fetus or mother and is therefore considered a physiological disorder; however, when it occurs frequently it develops into Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a pathological condition that require early intervention to prevent symptoms such as extreme dehydration, exhaustion weight loss, congenital problems in fetus and early labor etc. that could harm the developing fetus. In this study effort have been undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of Eladi Choorna in Garbhini Chardi.
