A women's menstrual cycle is often linked to her emotional well being. Dysmenorrhoea is defined as cyclic lower abdomen or pelvic pain during menstruation. In this observational study we noted that maximum girls have complaint of excessive pain during menses (Dysmenorrhoea) After taken their history maximum were taking lack of essential vitamins and mineral diet and also complaining eye sight weak and having stress of study and holding of natural urgs. Due to today's stressful life & lack of exercise altered in Hypothalamo- Pituitary Ovarian (HPO) axis which leads to menstrual dysfunction. In Ayurvedic concept due to Apathya Ahar (Vata Prakopaka) as fast food and diet used lack of micronutrients and Vihara like holding of urine and stool urge and avoiding of Rajaswala-Charya vitiation of Apana Vata which can altered Ritu Chakra. Our Acharya has clearly mentioned Lakshana of Kastartava in "Udavarta Yonivyapada" these disorders do not occur without vitiation of Vata, thus first of all Vata should be normalized. So Vata Shamak drug like Hingu (Asa foetida), Garlic (Alium sativum), Shatpushpa (Anethum sowa), Zinger vitamin and mineral rich (specially Vit A, E and Mg) should be take, Do proper Yoga and exercise avoid sedentary life style and fast food helps to cure dysmenorrhoea.
