Summary of article contents:

The present case study was done to evaluate the role of Ayurvedic Shodhana therapy i.e. Matra Basti for two consecutive menstrual cycle in the management of anovulation (Artava Dosha). Patient was anxious to conceive after active married life of 4 years. Acharya Charaka has clearly described the Nidanas of Vandhyatwa i.e. Yonidosha, Mansika-Abhitapa, Shukra-Artavadosha, Ahara-Vihara Dosha, Akalyoga (Coitus at improper time), Bala-Kshaya which causes delay in achieving conception in Sapraja women as well as in Apraja. The word Artava refers to ovum, menstrual blood and ovarian hormones. Artava vitiated by different Doshas i.e. Ashtartava dushti produces infertility. Ovulation is under the control of Vata . Act of ovulation is regulated by Vata especially Apana Vata. Basti cures all the diseases of Vata.Basti given in the patient regulates hypothalamo-Pituitary-Ovarian axis which result into normalization of ovarian cycle and menstrual cycle too. After completing two courses of Matra Basti (60 ml), improvement was noticed i.e. Ovulation study. The line of treatment was followed in this case was to treat aggravated Vata Dosha and vitiated Dhatu . There were no adverse effects found during the Matra Basti .
