TITLE - A SINGLE CASE STUDY TO ASSESS THE OVULATORY EFFECT OF ASHWAGANDHA GHRITA IN MANAGEMENT OF VANDHYATVA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ANOVULATION. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION – The hurried and fast-paced lifestyle of today makes life exceedingly stressful, unhealthy, and unclean. As a result, Infertility is now recognized as a serious condition that has an impact on people's social and psychological well-being. Infertility is defined as failure to conceive after 1 year of regular unprotected coitus. According to WHO One in Six people worldwide are affected by infertility. The WHO estimates the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India to be between 3.9 to 16.8 per cent. In Ayurveda, this condition is termed as Vandhyatva. In Vandhyatva, four basic constituents of Garbha Sthapana are affected. They are Ritu (fertile period), Kshetra (helthy uterus and reproductive organs), Ambu (Proper nutrition) and Beeja (Streebeeja and Purushbeeja). When Streebeeja is mentioned, it refers to the discharged ovum from the ovary. Anovulation describes the failure to release the ovum from the follicle. Ovarian factor is thus one major cause of infertility. When it comes to modern science, for Anovulation, hormonal medicines are used which have lot of side effects. In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha ghrita is mentioned in Gad Nigraha, for management of Vandhyatva, which is cost effective and has no side effects.
