ABSTRACT
Menorrhagia is a commonest gynecological problem characterized by cyclic bleeding in excessive amount or duration or both among 30% of women in reproductive age. Asrgdara or Raktapradara in Ayurveda is characterized by excessive or prolonged menstruation with or without inter-mentrual bleeding. In modern medicine haemostatic, analgesic and hormonal therapies are advised for menorrhagia, which has limitations. Hence it is need of time to have an integrated and comprehensive therapeutic intervention in Ayurveda to prevent recurrence. Sodhana and Shamana therapies are advised but if Rugnabala is diminished then only Shamana is advisable. Many herbal and herbomineral preparations are mentioned in Ayurveda to cure Asrgdara and related symptom which can be used as per Anubandha Dosha and Lakshana. Since Asrgdara is mainly due to VataPitta Dosha; Kashaya Rasa and Pittashamaka Chikitsa may be adopted. Ayurvedic formulations help in breaking down the pathogeneses of Asrgdara and its recurrence.
