"ॐ गं गणपतये नमः" 

अक्षरं परमं ब्रह्म ज्योतीरूपं सनातनम्। 

गुणातीतं निराकारं स्वेच्छामयमनन्तजम्॥

ॐ नमों भगवते सुदर्शन वासुदेवाय, धन्वंतराय अमृतकलश हस्ताय, सकला भय विनाशाय, सर्व रोग निवारणाय, त्रिलोक पठाय,  त्रिलोक लोकनिथाये,  ॐ श्री महाविष्णु स्वरूपा,  ॐ श्री श्री ॐ  औषधा चक्र नारायण स्वाहा।

वेद मंत्रों में देव शब्द के प्रयोग द्वारा देवताओं की सामूहिक स्तुति की गई है। रोग मुक्त शतायु जीवन की कामना के साथ उपयुक्त मंत्र अथर्ववेद एवं यजुर्वेद में है। दोनों ही वेदों में तत्संबंधी मंत्र ‘पश्येम शरदः शतम्’ से आरंभ होते हैं। 

STROT (स्रोत, stream, spring, source, current of water, torrent) :: The small porous srot help in absorbing nutrients and expelling carbon dioxide. These are the channels in the body which aid in transportation of nutrients, tissues and in expelling waste. Proper flow in the srot signifies proper-good health. But if there is any disturbance to the flow like blockage, deficient or excessive flow and out of channel flow is a disease state. 

Every srot has three parts to it :- 

(1). Srot Mul or root,

(2). Srot Marg or passage and

(3). Srot Munkh or opening.

In the female two more systems, Artav (menopause, मासिक धर्म) and Stan (स्तन), are present which are in charge of menstrual fluid and breast milk respectively.

SHUKR VAH SROT (शुक्र वाहिनी स्रोत) ::  The channel carrying nutrients to the male reproductive tissue (sperm) is called Shukr Vah Srot. Shukr Vah Srot makes it essential to examine sperm formation, proper functioning of testicles, erection o penis and the mental state of the diseased.

AMENORRHOEA :: When a woman miss her period, it leads to anxiety, several questions arise in her mind are :: Why ? How ? What happen to my body ? It is of following two types.

Primary :- The woman never had her menstrual cycle.

Secondary :- Sudden cessation of menstrual cycle. 

Anartav is the condition of non appearance of Artav i.e., Primary Amenorrhoea. Nasht Artav is a condition of destruction of Artav, which resembles secondary amenorrhoea.

Causes of Amenorrhoea (Nasht Artav) :: The aggravated Vat and Kaph obstruct the passage of channels carrying Artav (Artav Vah Srot), destroying it. Though, Artav is not finished completely, yet it is not discharged monthly.

Primary Amenorrhoea is caused by :: 

(1). Imperforate hymen, 

(2). A genesis of the uterus and upper 2/3 of the vagina,

(3). Turner's syndrome and

(4). Constitutional delay.

Secondary amenorrhoea is caused due to :: Pregnancy, Breast-feeding an infant, Discontinuing use of birth-control pills, Emotional stress or psychological disorder, Surgical removal of the ovaries or uterus, Disorder of the endocrine system, including the pituitary, hypothalamus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and ovarian glands, Diabetes mellitus, Tuberculosis, Obesity, anorexia nervosa or bulimia, Strenuous program of physical exercise, such as long-distance running, Poly-cystic ovarian disease (POD), Stein-Leventhal syndrome, Chemotherapy, Pelvic irradiation, Endometrial ablation, Drug therapy-steroids, danazol, anti-psychotics etc.

Premature ovarian failure, diet for Amenorrhoea (Nasht Artav) :- Garlic (लहसुन, lahsun) is very beneficial in Nasht Artav. Decoction of black Til-sesame, mixed with jaggery induces mensuration, Fish, Kulattha, Sour substance (Kanji), Butter milk mixed with half water, Curd, Gaomutr (गौमूत्र, Cow’s urine), Wine, Food capable of increasing Pitt is beneficial.

Herbal Treatment of Amenorrhoea (Nasht Artav-absence or suppression of normal menstrual flow, ऋतुरोध, मासिक धर्म (स्त्रियों का) बन्द होना) ::

(1). Herbs :- Ulatkambal Beej, Gajar Beej, Kumari, Sounth, Krishan til, Jatamansi, Shatavari, Dash Mool, Haritaki, Ashok, Hing.

(2). Preparations :- Kasis (कसिस), Tankan (टंकण), Gulkand (गुलकंद).

(3). The use of Basti (Uterine instillations) are beneficial.

Each and every patient is an individual entity and the treatment also differs from patient to patient. Rog Nidan (detection of disease, रोग निदान) has its different parameters. Prakrati (प्रकृति, nature) Parikshan (identification, judgement, परीक्षण), Saar (सार, conclusion), Sahan Shakti (सहन-प्रतिरोध शक्ति, immunity, resistance power, tolerance, compactness), Vyayam (व्यायाम, Exercise), Agni (Digestion) all these parameters are  studied by an Ayur Vaedist (वैद्य, चिकित्सक). An Ayur Vaedist makes a clear picture of the individual by understanding a patient as a whole and also  decides what kind of mode of preparation to be used for the patient. Panch Kashay Kalp, (पञ्च कषाय कल्प), RAS (रस, Juice), CHURN (चूर्ण, powder), KALK (कल्क),  PHANT, (फॉण्ट)  is based on this principle.
