Abstract

In Ayurveda due importance is given to the health of the women because health of family, society and nation largely depends on the health of its women. Frequency of Menstrual disorder is raising in today’s era which is precursor of infertility and other problems. Artavakshaya explained by Acharya Sushruta is the most common disease in women. Artavakshaya can be correlated with Oligomenorrhoea. Artavakshaya is one of the menstrual disorders which indicate scanty menstrual flow associated with pain in variable duration where vitiation of vata and kapha are predominant. From Vedic period it has got indirect references. There is high prevalence of this condition in society. Statistics says that out of 80.7% women suffering from irregular menstrual cycle, 19.3% are suffering from oligomenorrhoea.[1] So it requires more attention.
