“A Critical Review Article on Kashyapoktha Pushpaghni Jaatharini with Special Reference to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome”
Thousands of years ago, Ayurveda described diseases based on their symptoms and indicators. Pushpaghani Jatharini is a condition that Aacharya Kashyap has mentioned in Revati Kalpadhyay. Jaatharini is the name given to a class of deadly diseases that cause both female infertility and perinatal deaths. Because of hyperandrogenism, Pushpaghani Jaatharini suffers from anovulatory hemorrhage, obesity, and facial hair development. The symptoms of "Stein-Leventhal syndrome" or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are now quite similar to those of this illness. The primary cause of jaatharini, according o Acharya Kashyapa, is adharma. Modern lifestyles that are stressful and sedentary, along with poor dietary habits, are all causing disruptions to the body's natural circadian rhythm. This disturbed biological clock causes hormonal imbalance which causes disease like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is the most common endocrinopathy in females of reproductive age group. The prevalence rate of polycystic ovarian syndrome is very high that is 1 million per year in India. It is called “INFERTILITY QUEEN” as it leads to primary infertility in most of the cases.
