ABSTRACT

According to Ayurveda, spontaneous abortions occur in Asraja/Raktyoni/Putraghni Yonivyapada. According to Charaka due to excessive use of articles capable of aggravating Rakta and Pitta, the Rakta situated in reproductive organs of female gets vitiated by Pitta, and then, even after achievement of conception there is excessive bleeding per vagina. This condition is known as Asraja/Raktyoni. The Vaayu aggravated due to predominance of Ruksha properties in the body, repeatedly destroys the fetuses born from vitiated Shonita, known as Putraghni. The concept of Jaatharini and Garbhvyapadas also explains spontaneous abortions. Spontaneous miscarriage is clinically detectable loss of foetus occurring before 20 weeks of gestation. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is the occurrence of three or more consecutive spontaneous miscarriages before 20 weeks of gestation. Some however, consider two or more as a standard. It has been shown to be due to known etiologies like anatomic abnormalities chromosomal aberrations, infections, humoral immune factors, but 40-50% of aetiology remains ‘unknown’ or ‘unexplained’. As prescribed by Acharya Charaka (Ch.Chi.30/100-101) present study aims at studying the effect of Uttarbasti of Kaashmari and Kutaja Kwatha Siddha Ghrita in Asraja/Raktyoni/Putraghni Yonivyapada.A single blind clinical study was done on 30 Patients desired to have pregnancy with History of abortions upto 20 weeks due to unknown cause, with or without alive and healthy children patients were registered from OPD and IPD of Prasuti Tantra Evam Stree Roga, Rishikul Campus, Haridwar. Uttarbasti with Kaashmari and Kutaja Kwatha Siddha Ghrita was given for 3 months(for 3 menstrual cycles). Uttarbasti was administered in 3 sitting of each cycle at interval of 3 days, starting with 6th day of menstrual cycle and duration of one sitting was 3 days. Follow up was made for 3 months.4 patients (got complete cure) conceived and continued pregnancy with healthy fetus upto 20 weeks.6 patients had inevitable abortion with reduced bleeding P/V and reduced pain.20 patients did not conceived but showed improvement in endometrial thickness. Thus, it can be concluded that Uttarbasti of Kaashmari and Kutaja Kwatha Siddha Ghrita in cases of Asraja/Raktyoni/Putraghni Yonivyapada or spontaneous abortions upto 20 weeks was effective. Further researches could be carried out by taking large number of patients and longer duration of therapy.
