Summary of article contents:

Labour is a series of process that takes place during the expulsion of the foetus. Successful labour depends on the factors like maternal health, proper uterine contractions, proper nutrition to the foetus and pelvic adequacy 1 Compared to surgery, normal vaginal delivery is always beneficial for the mother and foetus to avoid pre, intra and postnatal surgical complications 2. In Ayurveda, Acharyas were explained Masanumashik Paricharya for the wellbeing of both mother and the fetus. In the process of labour, Apanavata plays an important role i.e Garbha nishkramana Kriya. Snehana is particularly meant for Apanavata anulomana thereby promoting normal labour 3 So in this case study we are trying to evaluate the effect of Gandharvahastadi eranda taila to reduce the duration of the first stage of labour and how it avoids postnatal complications. Keywords: Gandharvahasta eranda taila, Normal labour , Vata anulomana INTRODUCTION Motherhood is the essence of being a woman
