Dr. Deepak Bhole*
ABSTRACT
Sotha is the main problem related to the pregnancy and ayurveda described Vata as main cause of Shotha. Modern science also emphasizes anemia and hypoproteinemia as common causes of edema in pregnancy. The edema (Sotha) in pregnancy also arises due to the lack of antenatal care, poor maternal nutrition and poor reproductive knowledge. Kwatha of Punarnava root, Deodaru and Murva along with Anupana of Madhu is indicated in Garbhini shotha. Considering this fact we planned a study to observe role of Punarnavadi Vati with Anupana of Punarnava Kwatha in comparison to Punarnava Kwatha with Anupana of Madhu in Garbhini Shotha. Statistical analysis showed significant effect of drugs in both groups on leg circumference, pit filling time and weight. However trial group exhibited better effects as compared to the control group and difference between them was found to be statistically significant.
