Abstract:

Ayurveda is the ancient and oldest surviving complete medical system in the world. Derived from ancient Sanskrit terms Ayus and Veda and offering a rich, comprehensive outlook to a healthy and balanced life, its origin goes back nearly 5000 years. Since women are considered the most essential factor in the continuity of the human race on earth, they are the root of progeny. Health is important for the success of wider society and the economy. Many women are leading high-pressure lives, particularly when it comes to managing their careers and families. Women often tend to ignore health issues, especially reproductive and menstrual health, which are vital for a healthy body and a focused life. Therefore, it is important to sensitize society about the main cause of menstrual disorders (Aartava dushti), their symptoms, complications, and preventive measures (aahar, vihar) to control them. According to Ayurvedic Samhitas the regulation of Aartava is mainly carried out by Apan Vayu, so dushti of Apan Vayu will result in Aartava dushti and disturbed regular menstrual cycle. A total of 100 subjects, between ages 15-40 years were selected for this study, 59% of subjects were in the 15-25 years of age group and 41% were in the 26-40 years of age group. Maximum subjects are in the age group of 15-25 years which shows that symptoms of Aartava dust begin at this age and when it gets ignored it gives rise to disorders later. 98% of subjects belong to the Hindu religion and 2% Muslim religion. That means most women are from the Hindu religion.
