ABSTRACT

Stanya khaya is the most common threat. This incidence had been estimated to range from 23% to 36% during the first 4 months after delivery. Due to hectic and stressful life many lactating mothers are facing problem of Stan yakshaya (Lactation insufficiency). Due to it many mothers use alternative food/milk instead of breast milk which is harmful to health of babies. Case Study: A 33yr old female, Housewife by occupation sufferring from stanyakshaya and she was given 2gm of maricha churna and 2 gm of pippali mula churna treated with a glass of milk twise a day. In mother Stanamlanata and Stanya pramanparameters were assessed, while in baby Malapravrutti, Sharira bhara vruddhi, Rodan and Nidra parameters were assessed. Results & Discussion: Parameters improved gradually and at the end of day 21 all parameters in mother and baby were found within normal limits. Drug used for treatment were having Katu rasa, katu vipaka, ushna virya, ,effects on tridosha, balances kapha and vata, Stanyajanana etc.Properties which helped to nourish impaired Rasa dhatu and to increase stanya pramana (lactation). Conclusion: Rasa dhatwagnimandya and Rasa dhatukshaya are most common factors in samprapti of Stanykshaya and same should be corrected to increase Stanya pramana as Stanya is upadhatu of Rasa dhatu. Same treatment plan may not be helpful in each and every patient of Stanyakshaya.
