*Dr. Rekha Rani and Dr. Rashmi Sharma

Abstract

A healthy woman is a promise of a healthy life. In different phase of life from puberty to menopause, the concept of healthy yoni has been mentioned in Ayurveda. Vulvovaginitis is one of common gynecological complaints reported by women irrespective of their age and socio economic status. The common type of vaginal infections are vaginal candidiasis (CV), Trichomoniasis (TV) and bacterial vaginosis. In Ayurveda Non Specific Vulvovaginitis can be correlated with Kaphaja yonivyapad. The management of Kphaja yonivyapad include Sthanik chikitsha (Yoniprakshalan, Yoni Varti, Yonipichu etc), and Shaman chikitsha (Pushyanug churna, Varunadi kwath etc). These procedures and preparation have beneficial effect in treatment of Vulvovaginitis and there is very less chance of recurrence and having no side effect. Therefore, in this study an effort has been put forth to make a conceptual study covering almost all the aspects of Kaphaja yonivyapad as per Ayurveda and modern.
