Leukorrhea

Causes: Menstrual disorder, irregular diet, sexual indulgence, and untimely abortion. The monthly flow comes in different colors: white, mixed with blood, yellow etc. White flux with pus or phlegm is called white leucorrhea. Constipation, headache, flatulence, and indigestion attend such a patient.

Treatment: Asokarista in the morning, Pradaradi Lauha at noon with extract of menispermum glabrum, and Silajatu Bati in the evening with juice of green banana. For all blood leucorrhea, prescribe Asokarista. In white leucorrhea, use Abalabandhab Jog and Patrangasab. Asoke Ghrita is good for both these leucorrhea’s except when the patient has diarrhea or fever. Chronic cases manifest vertigo, swooning, and spasm due to excess gas in the stomach. Madhyam Narayan Taila should be rubbed on the heads of such patients, and Brihat Bat Chintamani should be given orally. Paleness and dropsy come from excessive loss of blood. In such cases give Nabayas Lauha with menispermum glabrum juice for the paleness, and Punarnabasab for the dropsy. If the patient has indigestion, diarrhea, and weak health, prescribe additionally Bhaskar Lavan and Mahasankha Bati for the indigestion and flatulence, and Sree Madanananda Modak or Grahani Kapat Ras for the diarrhoea. The patient should continue the use of Asoke Ghrita or Som Ghrita or Kumar Kalpadrum Ghrita for many days after the symptoms have vanished. These Ghritas will restore health.

Diet: Rice (old stock); kai, magur, shingi, rohit, khalisha, etc. fishes; mugh, musuri, gram, arahar, raw mashkalai, etc. Lentils; potatoes, eggplant, trichosanthes dioica, jhingay, and other vegetables; milk, curd, curd drink, ghee, and butter. These are all good foods for the patient. Sweet pumpkin, tea, biscuits, puffed rice, parched rice, and other dry foods are not good.
