So, for removing this avarana & to achievevriddi of artava by increasing its Agneyaguna in women, a trial of Vamana karma followed by administration of Agneyagunayuktadravyas is undertaken. Materials & Methods: Patients were selected according to inclusion & exclusion criteria and are divided in 2 equal groups of 15 each & findings were recorded after each cycle. Group A(Trial Group) : 15 patients were administered with Vamanakarma at 1st cycle followed by use of Agneyadravyavati for 3 cycles. Group B(Control Group) : 15 patients were treated with known standard drug Rajapravartinivati for 3 consecutive cycles. Result & Interpretations: All patients responded to the given trial treatment without any complications. The trial Vamana Group showed highly significant result as it removes the root cause & the correcting the symptoms by their properties, where control group drug gives only symptomatic relief.
