ABSTRACT:
God has gifted woman with the unique property of giving birth to a new life. If this Yoni is afflicted by doshas or diseases, the female may become infertile. Also she suffers from other diseases of Vata dosha. So it should be our prime motive to treat YoniVyapadas as soon as they appear. "Pittam pangu kapham pangu, pangavo mala dhatavah, / vayunam yatra niyante tatra gachhanti meghavat." This sutra clarifies the importance of Vata dosha in functions of all doshas.
In Stri rogas, there are 2o YoniVyapadas described in literature. Amongst all these Yoni Vyapadas, diseases occurring due to Vata vitiation form a considerable group, which encompases in itself 11 disease entities according to Acharya Charaka and 5 according to Maharshi Sushruta. In Ayurveda, the word ‘Yoni’ is used specifically to denote genital tract as a whole Uterus and Vaginal canal. ‘Vyapada’ word means disorders, thus the disease of genital tract as a whole is “Yoni Vyapada”.
There are different types of treatments for these Yoni Rogas, use of Basti is one. Basti is specially said to be beneficial in Vatik disorders. Without vitiation of Vayu no Yoni Rogas can occur hence while managing the Yoni Rogas, it should be borne in mind that the drugs or methods being used for suppressing the other Dosha should not aggravate Vayu. So Vayu is being treated first followed by other Doshas.
Ayurvedic authors have given the detailed description of Yoni Vyapada in general but Acharya Charaka has described its specific etiology according to the predominance of Doshas. In this paper we will go through these paramount descriptions of Acharyas about Vataja YoniVyapadas with their management in detail.
