So breast milk is best than any other type or feeding [4] Ayurveda emphasises prevention of disease, rejuvenation of our body systems and extension of life span. The objects of this science is the maintenance of the equilibrium of tissue elements. According to Ayurveda, breast feeding is the easiest and the healthiest way to feed a newborn, as the milk is rich in nutrients [3] In this study the role of Vidarikand Churna and Madhuk Churna was studied in 60 patients of Stanya Kshaya and its effectiveness is seen.

The word Ayu literally means life and Veda the science or knowledge. Ayurveda stands for knowledge of life. Stanya is Updhatu of Rasa Dhatu . Rasa Dhatu is said to be Aadi Dhatu i.e. Pratham Dhatu . Ayurveda explains the importance of Stanya (Breast Milk) through its main function Pushti and Jeevan (growth and life). If Rasa Dhatu formation is disturbed, its Updhatu Stanya will also be disturbed Now in modern era most of the cases of Stanya Kshaya are observed. So in present study Madhuk Churna and Vidarikand Churna are used in the management of Stanya Kshaya. Key words: Stanya Kshaya, Vidarikand Churna, Madhuk Churna.

Considering the symptom Mata Stanmalanta, group A patients got 93.33% of relief where as Group B patients got 100% relief. Group A patients got 98.08% increase in Stanyapravartna where as Group B patients got 100% increase in Stanyapravartan symptoms. In both Group patients there is 100% increase in weight of their children. Also Significantly increase in sleep of children in both groups was found. Also Rodan of child is significantly decreased in both group. Also Mutrapravrutti and Mala Pravrutti in children significantly increased in both Groups. So we can say that both Vidarikanda Churna and Madhuk Churna are effective in reducing the symptoms of Stanya Kshaya disease. CONCLUSION Breast milk is the best gift a mother can give her baby. Significant and long term health benefits are associated with breast feeding for the individual mother, baby and society. Breast feeding is the ideal way to feed babies. Stanya Kshaya is the common problem noticed in our clinical practice Madhuk and Vidarikanda are drugs of choice for Stanyajanana . From the present study, it can be concluded that Madhuk Churna (Trial drug) is effective on Stanya Kshaya . Since in the symptom Stana Mlanata treatment given to Group B ( Vidarikanda Churna ) shows slightly better results over treatment given to Group A ( Madhuk Churna ) but in the rest symptoms, Stanya Pravartan, Balak Sharir Bhar, Nidra, Rodan, Mutrapravrutti and Malapravrutti treatment given to group A and group B shows an average equal effects. Hence we conclude that treatment Vidarikanda Churna given to group B and Madhuk Churna given to group A are equally effective in disease Stanya Kshaya . In both group A and B this treatment does not show any toxicity. This treatment does not show any side effects during follow up. This remedy is cheaper in cost and easy to use, store, carry and can be used by poor class women also. Madhuk being a Rasayana Dravya aims at enriching the quality of the Dhatus or tissues but it requires a sincere and honest approach towards the use of this Dravya to get the fruitful outcomes. For this Yukti is the single most quality of Physician. This prestigious Dravya is honestly helpful in treatment of Stanya Kshaya as it is the most celebrated Ayurvedic herb and is renowned for its lots of benefits. Results of this study are encouraging. Thus more research in this work is necessary, to boost up the result which can serve the mankind.
