Dr. Asha K.* and Dr. Mandeep Kaur

ABSTRACT

Ayurveda places utmost importance on women's health and provides a comprehensive understanding of Stree Roga along with their management through Ayurvedic principles. Some common gynecological issues addressed in Ayurveda include Yonidaha, Yonikandu, Yoni paicchilya, Yoni strava, Yoni karkashata, Vamini and Upapluta yonivyapad, etc. The disruption in menstrual patterns also leads to numerous gynecological problems affecting women's health. Ayurveda offers multiple approaches to treat these disorders, particularly Yoni Roga, which require localized therapeutic interventions. One such approach is Sthanik Chikitsa, which provides therapeutic relief for various Stree Roga. Sthanik Shodhna Karma includes techniques like Yoni-Pichu, Yoni Dhoopan, Yonidhawan, Yoni-Lepana, Uttarbasti and Yoni-Varti, etc. All these Ayurvedic approaches contribute to maintaining optimal health in women by alleviating symptoms such as itching, white discharge and foul smell, etc. The present article elucidates Role of Shodhana Karma in Stree Roga W.S.R. to Sthanik Shodhna Karma.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Shodhana Karma, Stree Roga, Sthanik Chikitsa.
