THE EFFECTIVENESS OF "LASHUN TARPAK" IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HYPOMENORRHEA IN THE CONTEXT OF ARTAVAKSAYA
Dr. Swati Kimothi*
ABSTRACT
Women’s reproductive system is delicate and complex in the body. Normal menstruation represents the hormonal and gynecological health of the reproductive system controlled by the HPO axis. Similarly, Ayurveda has given importance to the Updhatu of Rasadhatu which is Artav as it is responsible for conception. Due to changes in lifestyle and eating habits, the disease of Artav like Artavkshaya is rapidly increasing. Dalhan has recommended the use of Agneya Dravya in Artavkshaya, as Artav itself is Agneya in nature. Acharya Kashyap has mentioned Lashun as Rasayan. By consuming Lashun, Stree attains Shuddhi and does not suffer from gynae disorders. Lashun has properties similar to Agneyadravya also mentioned as Artavajanan Dravya. So, an attempt has been made to apply the Samanesamanasya Vruddhi Siddhant by using Lashun as Swayoni Vardhan Dravya in Artavkshaya by analyzing the characteristic of Lashun, with special reference to hypomenorrhea along with its chemical constitution, pharmacological and probable mode of action.
