Abstract

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is defined as any alteration in the pattern or volume of menstrual  blood flow. The prevalence of AUB is very high i.e. 17.9% (FOGSI 2016/02/GRCP-ON-AUB) in present days.  Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the highly prevalent gynecological problems among the females during their  reproductive years. Abnormal uterine bleeding or Asrigdara is of more concern, because excessive or prolonged  bleeding may cause undue disruption of woman’s daily activities & affects woman's health both physically and  psychologically. The incidence rate of Asrigdara is increasing day by day, so if treatment is delayed this can lead to  a worsening of the condition of the patient due to excessive blood loss.So, there is a great scope of research to find  out safe, potent, cost effective remedy from Ayurveda by addressing the root of the problem thereby improving the  quality of life of woman. Therefore many formulations have been mentioned in our texts for the treatment of  Asrigdara.Yogaratnakar has described Bhumyamalaki Churna in the treatment of Pradara. Bhumyamalaki is Kapha Pittashamaka drug due to its properties like Sheetaveerya, Madhura Vipaka, Laghu-Ruksha Guna and Madhur, TiktaKasaya Rasa. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which may influenced vascular apparatus of  reproductive system. Bhumyamalaki is effective in Asrigdara due to its Raktapitta Shamaka and Yonidoshahara  property. .
