Ayurveda divides the physiological functions of the human body into three categories: Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala. They are the basic building blocks of the body. They are fed by Sara portion made from Dhatu and Dhatuvaha srotas' nutritional fluid. It implies they aren't generated straight from Ahara rasa. Significant physiological units known as updhatus are produced from dhatus and are identical to dhatus in terms of structure, function, and natural characteristics. Astanga Sangrahakara classifies these aspects as "Prasadaja" elements. All of the Upadhatus were originally explained in the Samhita by Kala Charaka Samhita in a single Sutra. There are seven dhatus and their updhatus in the human body. Women's reproductive health depends on the updhatu of the rasa dhatu known as artva (menstrual blood or ovum). It alludes to the reproductive system in women, which has a particular purpose. Nowadays, it is referred to as "Menses" in terminology. The physiology of menstruation in Ayurveda will be examined in this topic. In this instance, "Bahipushpa" is considered to refer to menstruation. It is essential for Artava to be "Shuddha," or normal in nature, for the growth of Garbha. Every woman should have a basic awareness of Rajapravrutti since it has a detrimental effect on women's health. These days, maintaining good female health is essential.
