Samatha Honavar*, Papiya Jana and Ramesh M.
ABSTRACT
Ayurveda is renowned as a medical system although medicine is a small portion of the voluminous tapestry of its knowledge. It seeks to generate equilibrium at all levels of a person’s being including women’s health as health of the family, society and culture that revolves around a woman depends to a larger degree on her health. Good health bestows a state of harmony which directly impacts fertility, pregnancy and motherhood. Habitual abortion/Recurrent Miscarriage is still one of the most discouraging conditions to deal with in the field of medicine. This entity can be correlated to the description of Putraghni yonivyapad mentioned by acharya Sushruta. There is mention of four different general causes for the manifestation of twenty yonivyapads by acharya Charaka and some of the etiological factors related to habitual abortions are categorised under three trimesters of pregnancy in contemporary text books. Thus, a case of 38 year old obese female with history of two spontaneous abortions managed with yuktivyapashraya and satvavajaya chikitsa is discussed with an intent to throw light on wholistic approach with bahirparimarjana chikitsa, oral medications and counselling.
Keywords: Putraghni yonivyapad, bahirparimarjana chikitsa.
