Deepika Dwivedi* and Ajai Kumar Pandey

Abstract

The management of Grahani seeks attention of research scholars because of inappropriateness of its management in conventional system of medicine. In this emerging scenario the present clinical study was conducted in 30 patients to test the safety & efficacy of Ayurvedic formulation Shaddharan Churna in cases of Grahani.In this series, a total 25 females and 5 males cases were enrolled fulfilling the exclusion and inclusion criteria, between the age group of 20-65 years. The patients were randomly selected. The cases were assessed on subjective and objective parameters for three successive follow ups on every third week. At the end of clinical trial patients showed significant improvement on different parameters such as Atibadha mala (constipation) or Atidrava mala (diarrhea), Udarashool (pain in abdomen), Aruchi (decrease in desire to intake food), Alasya (feeling of lethargy), Jwara (feverish feeling), Balabhransha (feeling of reduced physical and mental strength). We finally conclude that Shaddharan churna was effective and no unwanted effects were noted during the trial period.
