Endometrial factor comes under the Umbrella of Kshetra, which is one of the important factors for conception i.e., Rutu, Kshetra, Ambu and Beeja.^[1] Abnormal endometrium is the major cause of implantation failure. Aim and Objective: The present study was carried out for the clinical evaluation of efficacy of Yoni Pichu of Phalakalyana Ghrita and Baladi Vati orally in female infertility w.s.r endometrial factor. Materials and Methods: Single arm clinical trial among 32 diagnosed patients of endometrial factor infertility were treated with Phalakalyana Ghrita (20 ml) as Yoni Pichu for 8 days twice daily along with oral administration of Baladi Vati (500 mg tablet) twice daily. Assessment of results was done on the basis of Appelbaum’s USSR by the tool of Transvaginal colour doppler sonography. Results: Study shows statistically highly significant (p>0.001) result in upgrading endometrial receptivity. Conclusion: The total effect of therapy was very encouraging and highly significant to enhance the endometrial receptivity assessed on the basis of Appelbaum’s USSR.
