Abstract


Menstrual cycle of a woman is considered as the Mirror of her Reproductive Health. Menstrual period (Rajaswala kala) is the largest and the most important phase in a woman’s life. However in today’s changing lifestyle the care to be taken during menstrual period is somewhere being neglected. Working women and their hectic schedules, unhealthy eating habits, lack of rest during these days overall leads to various gynecological problems. The period where utmost health care and hygiene should be taken is now the most ignored part of our lives. Ayurveda very precisely explains the Rajaswala Paricharya i.e lifestyle to be followed during menstruation period. It is very well explained in Ayurvedic texts about the care and codes of conduct to be followed by a woman during menstruation. It helps women to cope up with the physical and psychological changes which they go through during this period. Many modern day women are unaware of this Paricharya. There is a need in today’s time to bring awareness about Rajaswala Paricharya for healthy Menstruation and to achieve women health and ultimately healthy progeny.
