ABSTRACT

The process of pregnancy from conception until delivery is fraught with numerous potential complications .One such complication is spontaneous miscarriage (abortion) or clinically detectable loss of fetus occurring before 20 weeks of gestation The incidence of early pregnancy loss post implantation can be as high as 31%. Recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) is 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 etiology remains ‘unknown’ or ‘unexplained’. This has inspired great interest in searching potential causes of spontaneous miscarriages and its probable treatment. In Ayurveda, spontaneous abortions occur in Asraja/Raktyoni/Putraghni Yonivyapada. Also, Grabha Sraava and Grabhpaata in Ayurveda, also denote abortions. Another concept of Jaatharini in Ayurveda, says that due to unrighteous acts of the couple the women has repeated pregnancy loss. As Uttarbasti of Kutaja and Kaashmari Kwatha siddha Ghrita is indicated in Raktayoni ,Arajaska, Putraghni Yonivyapada by Acharya Charaka[1], a case study was done on Pichu (due to its convenience to patient instead of Uttarbasti)of Kutaja and Kaashmari Kwatha siddha Ghrita in Stree rog and Prasuti Tantra OPD and IPD of Rishikul Rajkiya Ayurved college and hospital, Haridwar. A 26 year female having no specific causes of secondary infertility was treated with Pichu of Kutaja and Kaashmari Kwatha siddha Ghrita in OPD/IPD of Hospital.
