When a woman miss her period ,it leads to anxiety .,several questions arise in her mind…why?How?what happen to my body…?
Amenorrhoea is the word often used by the physicians when these type of cases are seen in practise.Amenorrhoea is of two types
· Primary or the woman never had her menstrual cycle(First Case)
· Secondary or sudden cessation of menstrual cycle.(Second Case)
Ayurveda explains Anartava which is the condition of non appearance of artava i.e Primary Amenorrhoea. Ayurveda also describes Nasht atrtava which is a condition of destruction of artava,which resembles secondary amenorrhoea.. We have successfully treated several patients with Ayurvedic medicines who were suffering from this problem and were advised for surgeries by allopathic doctors.
What causes Amenorrhoea(Nasht Artava) ?
As per Ayurveda,The aggravated vata and kapha obstruct the passage of channels carrying artava(artava veh srotas),thus artava is destroyed. Though artava is not finished completely,yet it is not discharged monthly.
As per modern studies, Primary Amenorrhoea is caused by
· Imperforate hymen
· Agenesis of the uterus and upper 2/3 of the vagina
· Turner's syndrome
· Constitutional delay
Secondary amenorrhoea is caused due to
· Pregnancy
· Breast-feeding an infant
· Discontinuing use of birth-control pills
· Emotional stress or psychological disorder
· Surgical removal of the ovaries or uterus
· Disorder of the endocrine system, including the pituitary, hypothalamus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and ovarian glands
· Diabetes mellitus

· Strenuous program of physical exercise, such as long-distance running
· Polycystic ovarian disease (POD), (Stein-Leventhal syndrome)
· Chemotherapy
· Pelvic irradiation
· Endometrial ablation
· Drug therapy - steroids, danazol, antipsychotics etc.
· Premature ovarian failure

Treatment of Amenorrhoea(Nasht Artava) in Ayurveda
Our Ancient Acharayas has mentioned several classical ayurvedic formulations for the cure of amenorrhoea. Ayurvedic herbal preparations cures by establishing the equilibrium of Tridosha(Vata,pitta,kapha)and sapt dhatus (body tissues).
There are several herbs named
· Ulatkambal beej
· Gajar beej
· kumari
· Sonth
· Krishan til

· Shatavari
· Dasmool
· Haritaki
· Asoka

The use of Basti (Uterine instillations) are beneficial.
In Ayurveda , each and every patient is an individual entity and the treatment also differs from patient to patient. Rogi Nidaan has its different parameters. It’s not as simple as in modern medicines. Prakriti parikshan, Saar, Sahanan(Compactness), Vyayam shakti(Exercise), Agni (Digestion)all these parameters are studied by an ayurvedist. An ayurvedist makes a clear picture of the individual by understanding a patient as a whole and also decides what kind of mode of preparation to be used for the patient. Panch KashayKalpana(SWARAS(Juice),CHURNA(powder),KALK,HIM,PHANT,) is based on this principle.
So I emphasis that patient must take the ayurvedic medicine under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician.
Conclusion
Amenorrhoea can be successfully manageable through Ayurveda.
