ABSTRACT

Shwetapradara (Abnormal Vaginal discharge) in the reproductive age group is the most common complaint encountered everyday both by gynecologists and general practitioners. It occurs in 1-14% of all women in the reproductive age group. The prevalence of vaginal discharge in India is estimated to be 30%. The current study is an attempt to evaluate the efficacy of Nimbadi Yoga in the treatment of Shwetapradara by local route as well as oral route of administration. Married woman age group from 20yrs to 60yrs having clinical features of Shwetapradara and having positive causative organism by wet smear test have been selected for the trial. Total 53 patients were registered from the OPD of Stree Roga and Prasooti Tantra Department, IPGT & RA, Jamnagar. Among registered patients, 50 patients completed the course of treatment. Nimbadi Yoga was used to make both drugs i.e. Nimbadi Yonivarti and Nimbadi Ghanavati. Nimbadi Yonivarti (3 gm each) was given per vaginally once at bed time for 15 days continuously. Nimbadi Ghanavati (two tablets of 500mg each) was given orally thrice a day before meal for 15 days continuously. Overall effect on subjective and objective parameters was found 82.20% of patients without any complication with complete remission (20%), markedly improvement (58%) and moderately improvement (14%).
