ABSTRACT

Threatened abortion is a clinical entity where the process of miscarriage has started but has not progressed to a state from which recovery is impossible. Uterine pregnancies that eventuate in a spontaneous abortion are also termed early pregnancy loss or early pregnancy failure. More than 80 percent of spontaneous abortions occur within the first 12 weeks of gestation. In ayurvedic classics haemorrhage in early pregnancy has been mentioned in the elaborate form under the context of garbhavyapads. Acharayas have clearly mentioned about garbhopaghatakara bhavas which can lead to pregnancy complications or even foetal loss. Ahara and vihara that a garbhini should follow has been presented in a very beautiful way and thus there is a need to educate the garbhini to follow garbhini paricharya and avoid garbhopaghatakara bhavas. Thus, a case of threatened abortion treated successfully with garbhasthapaka aushadhis and rakta stambhaka dravyas is dealt.
