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.
-
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.
-
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.
