Herbal Remedies For Women And Girls In Ayurveda

Ayurvedic Herbs are effective for male and female Reproductive System disorders. Ayurvedic herbs are beneficial for strengthening the uterus, as contraceptives, Ecbolics, Emmenagogues, Anti-Emmenagogues and Galactagogues.

Herbs Facilitating Conception & Maintaining Good Health Of Uterus During Pregnancy:

The uterus is prepared for the period from conception to delivery. These are astringent-sweet in taste, unctuous, cold with tissue-tonic properties. The uterus is strengthened and the chances of premature labor and habitual abortion are minimized. The fetus is also helped to get proper nutrition. e.g. Brahmi, Lakshamana.

Ayurvedic Herbs As Contraceptive:

Contraceptive herbs are used to prevent conception or the fertilization of ovum with sperm.

Herbal Ecbolics:

Ecbolic herbs contract the uterus. This action is mediated in two ways.

  1. Direct Ecbolics: Direct ecbolics contract the uterus directly. Quinine and Lead directly contract the uterine muscles. Annamaya contract the uterus by affecting the nerves supplying the smooth muscles of uterus. Nux vomica contract the uterus via central Nervous system.

  2. Indirect Ecbolics: Indirect Ecbolics cause the congestion or hyperemia in pelvic tissues and then contract the uterus. These possess the sharp and hot properties. e.g. Arka, Alua.

Herbal Uterine Sedatives:

Uterine sedatives calm down the contractions in the uterus. These are helpful in premature abortion or habitual abortion. e.g. Suchi.

Herbal Emmenagogues:

Emmenagogues also cause hyperemia in pelvic tissues and they promote the quantity of menstrual secretion. Ecbolics when used in low dosage  also act as Emmenagogues. These are also rich in Fire element and possess hot and sharp properties. e.g. Sarshap, alcohol. These are used in Oligomenorrhea and Dysmenorrhea.

Herbal Anti-Emmenagogues:

Anti-Emmenogogues are cold and astringent and they reduce the secretion of menstrual fluid. These are used in Menorrhagic conditions. e.g. Nagakeshar, Lodhra.

Herbal Galactagogues:

Galactagogues promote the secretion of milk. These are dominant in Water element. e.g. Shatavari, Ikshumula.

Herbal Anti-Galactagogues:

Anti-Galactagogues reduce the secretion of milk. e.g. Mallika.

Ayurvedic Herbs For Vitiated Milk:

Like blood purifying herbs, these herbs purify the vitiated milk. They reduce the chances of infection in breast milk. The quality of milk is also rendered better. e.g. Devadaru for Vata vitiation, Sariva for Pitta vitiation and Shunthi for Kapha vitiation.
