Nidhi Palariya* and Dr. Pravesh Tomar

ABSTRACT

In the Kashyapa Samhita Revatikalpa Adhyaya, Acharya Kashyapa describes Jataharini as a group of disorders that affect women, attributed to the influence of the Revati at different stages of a woman's life. These afflictions are believed to cause severe disruptions in the menstrual cycle, complications such as recurrent abortions, stillbirths, intrauterine fetal death, neonatal deaths, or serious conditions that reduce the lifespan of the fetus. According to Acharya Kashyapa, Adharma is identified as the primary cause for the onset of Jataharini. In the context of modern times, Adharma can be interpreted as the lifestyle changes brought about by modernization, which contribute to a variety of reproductive disorders in women. This conceptual study offers about Pushpaghni Jataharini, focusing on its specific causes, clinical features, and both general and specific symptoms. By examining these aspects, the study aims to provide a deeper understanding of how contemporary lifestyle factors contribute to menstrual and reproductive health issues in women, drawing parallels with the traditional understanding of Jataharini.
