A CASE STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF YONIDHAVAN WITH TRIPHLA KWATH – TAKRA AND YONIPICHU WITH NIMB TAIL ON KAPHAJ YONIVYAPAD W.S.R. TO VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS

In Ayurveda, Kaphaja Yonivyapad is marked by features like Shweta Pichhila Yoni Srava (whitish, mucoid discharge) along with Yoni Kandu (pruritus in the genital region), indicating Kapha Dosha predominance.[1] A comparable clinical presentation is observed in Vulvovaginal Candidiasis, where patients typically exhibit a thick, white discharge associated with intense itching of the vulval area. If such conditions are not managed in a timely manner, they may progress to further Vyapad (complications) and significantly disturb overall well-being and quality of life. This case report describes a 33-year-old female patient who presented with chief complaints of curdy Shweta Yoni Srava, Yonidourgandhya, Yoni Kandu, and Adhodar Shoola. In accordance with principles of Ayurveda, management was planned using Yonidhavan withTriphala Kwatha and Takra followed by Yonipichudharan with Nimba Taila once daily for a period of 8 days. The patient exhibited gradual symptomatic relief, with marked reduction in Yoni Srava, Kandu, and associated abdominal pain. Notable improvement in the severity of symptoms was observed following the combined therapeutic approach of Yonidhavan with Triphala Kwatha–Takra and Pichu Dharana with Nimba Taila, indicating its effectiveness in the management of Kaphaja Yoni Vyapad resembling Vulvovaginal Candidiasis.
