Abstract

In different phase of life from puberty to menopause, the concept of healthy yoni has been mentioned in Ayurveda. Now a days, women are unable to follow the rules of Ritucharya, Rajswala, Ritumati and Sutika pricharya thus they are more prone to many yoni rogas. Vulvovaginitis is one of common gynaecological complaint reported by women irrespective their age and socio-economic status. The common type of vaginal infections are candidial vulvovaginitis, trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis. In Ayurveda candidial vulvovaginitis can be correlate with Upapluta yonivyapad because of similarity in their symptoms. As mentioned in ayurveda classics “vata and kapha” doshas are responsible to cause Upapluta Yonivyapda. so the treatment should be based on the use of drugs which are having vata kapha shamak properties like Tikta, Kashaya ras, Ruksha, Ushna, properties which will bring about relief in symptoms of the disease.

Keywords: Upapluta, Yonivyapda, Candidial vulvovaginitis.
