Abstract

In Ayurveda, Sthanik chikitsa (local therapies) are specialized treatment procedure in stree rogas described by ancient Acharyas. These procedure basically deals with the disorders of tryavarta yoni. Without tridosha disease can not manifest. Vata is mostly vitiated in disease process of stree rogas. In the therapeutic approach basti have good efficacy to normalise the vitiated vata. Out of this uttarbasti is most widely used in stree roga. Uttarbasti is one of the panchakarma treatment, in which liquid medicine (kwath or oil) are administered through urethral or vaginal routes. Thus uttarbasti targets towards diseases of urinary & genital system. The medicine may be in the form of kwath/ kashaya i.e. asthapana & in form of sneha i.e. anuvasana basti. Due to suppression of vayu by use of uttarbasti, the woman conceives immediately. It is also beneficial in diseases of urinary bladder such as retension of urine, uterovaginal prolapse, severe vaginal pain, yonivyapad, menometrorrhagia, amenorrhoea, vandhyatva & other menstural disorders which are difficult to cure & it also helps in retention of placenta.
