ABSTRACT

The reproductive life of women starts with puberty and ends with menopause. In-between these two ends, there is a progenitive life having menstrual cycle i.e. Rutuchakra. In Ayurveda Menstrual bleeding is termed as Rajasrava. Due to present modern lifestyle changes, there are many menstrual disorders among which excessive/prolong and irregular uterine bleeding is increasing day by day which is included under Abnormal Uterine Bleeding(AUB). Raktaprada is due to pradirana(excessive excretion) of raja(menstrual blood) and since there is excessive excretion of asrik(menstrual blood) hence termed as asrigdara. There are wide range of treatment principles and formulations explained in ayurveda which are easily available, cost effective and safer than the usage of hormonal or anti – fibrinolytic drugs etc and in later stages surgical treatment with the risk of reccurance.  In this article, a case report of 24years old woman who was complaining of excessive bleeding associated with pain in abdomen and backache is presented. Vishwailadi Churna which is  mentioned in Sahasra Yoga under Churna adhikara was administered and found to be effective in the management of Raktapradara.
