Intervention of Post-Menopausal Dry Eye with Shatavari Ghrita: Case study

Dry eye disease (DED) is a common condition in post-menopausal women, primarily due to hormonal changes, particularly the decline in estrogen. This case report describes the treatment of a post-menopausal woman diagnosed with DED using shatavari, an adaptogenic herb from traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Shatavari gritha eye drops improve the symptoms of dry eye and shatavari ksheerapaka internally improves the menopausal symptoms. Due to rasayana, vayastapana and madhura rasa and vipaka it helps to reduce vata and pitta doshas. The patient experienced significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life, suggesting that shatavari could be a potential therapeutic option for managing post-menopausal dry eye.
