A Critical review on the role of Laghumalini vasant in an Anovulatory factor of Female Infertility.

Abstract

Anovulation, the failure of the ovary to release an egg during the menstrual cycle, is a common cause of infertility in women. In Ayurveda, anovulation is linked to infertility—is referred to with terms like Artavkshaya,Nashtartava, Anartava, and Nashta beejam. Ayurvedic texts describe this condition as a disruption of the reproductive system's normal function, often attributed to imbalances in Vata specially  apan vata and Kapha dosha as well as blockages in the Artavavaha srotas (reproductive channels). Such imbalances can result in the absence of ovulation, conventional treatments for anovulation often involve hormonal therapies, which may have side effects and limited efficacy in some cases. Laghumalini Vasant, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, has been historically used to enhance reproductive health and address fertility disorders. This paper explores the potential role of Laghumalini Vasant in the management of anovulation, focusing on its ability to regulate hormonal imbalances, support ovarian function, and promote regular ovulation by improving rasa dhatwagni.The formulation contains a blend of herbs and minerals that are believed to act synergistically to enhance fertility. By analyzing traditional Ayurvedic knowledge and contemporary clinical perspectives, the study highlights how Laghumalini Vasant could serve as a complementary treatment in managing anovulatory conditions. While traditional usage and anecdotal evidence support its efficacy, further clinical research is required to substantiate its effectiveness in treating anovulation and related fertility issues.
