ABSTRACT

Achievement of motherhood is the cherished desire of every woman. A series of changes happen in the physiological and psychological status of women, some of which may be felt as a discomfort to her. Ayurvedic classics have mentioned Garbhini Chardi as one among the vyakta garbha lakshanas, which can be correlated with Emesis Gravidarum. Emesis Gravidarum is a worldwide common obstetrical problem seen in the first trimester of pregnancy in about 50-90% of pregnant women. For such physiological alterations, if proper care is not given, it may lead to complication like severe dehydration, tiredness, weight loss, etc. which may affect mother and growing fetus. Though it is ideal to avoid drugs in the first trimester, some women are severely nauseated and need drug therapy. Thus, aim and objective of the study was to evaluate the role of Shunthi Bilwadi Yogvati in Garbhini Chardi.

Keywords: Garbhini Chardi, Emesis Gravidarum, Shunthi Bilwadi yogvati.
