Rajahpravarthini Vati

Rajahpravartini Vati 500 mg (Reference: AFI)

Rajahpravartinivati is a Kharaleeya rasa that is extensively used in all types of streerogas. It is one of the herbo-mineral Ayurvedic formulations, which is mainly indicated in Kashtarthava and Nashtarthava. The etymology of the word "rajahpravartinivati" is that "rajas" means menstrual discharge, "pravartana" means going on, beginning, commencement, stimulating, urging, or initiating, and "vati" means a pill or bolus. A pill, which initiates or stimulates menstruation is called RajahpravartiniVati. RajahpravartiniVati is 1st mentioned in one of the classical texts under StreeRoga Adhikaara. This is indicated in Nashtarthava & Kashtarthava. It is effective in Arthavavikaras. ShodhitaHingu, Kumari, ShodhitaTankana and ShodhitaKasisa are the main ingredients of RajahpravirtiniVati. Hingu (Ferula Asafoetida Linn) has shoolahara (colic pain reliever) and vatanulomana (facilitator of downward movement of Vata) properties, which help in normalising the function of apanvata, which is the main causative factor of Kashtartava. Hingu has anti-flatulent and digestive properties & counteracts spasmodic disorders and may probably suppress the secretion of the progesterone hormone. The gum resin contains the coumarins 5-hydroxy-umbelliprenin, assafoetidin, etc. Hormonal influence plays an important role in maintaining both the ovulatory and menstrual cycles.

All the ingredients of Rajahpravrtinivati have identical properties like Katu rasa, Ushna veerya, Sara Teekshnaguna, and Pitta vardhaka. All these properties remove obstruction in the passage and do SrotoShodhana (cleansing of the channels). By this, there is improvement in StanikaArthavagni and UpadhatuArthava. This formulation is extensively used by Ayurvedic physicians.
