Abstract
Introduction: Yoni is an Ayurvedic term that
represents the Male and Female reproductive organs and Vishodhana represents
the treatment modality for cleansing or regularizing the same. Yoni vishodhana
is the concept of cleansing or regularizing the reproductive organs of both male
and female by means of various Ayurvedic treatment modalities. Yoni vishodhana
(YV) is the most neglected area of research in contemporary science because of
the prevalence of ART (Artificial reproductive technologies) in this era.
Pre-conceptional care including YV paves the way for achieving natural
conception. Materials and methods: The concept of YV is taken from relevant Ancient ayurvedic
literature and relevant cases of primary
and secondary infertility are selected for explaining the concept of YV as a pre-conceptional care.
Results: The
conceptualization of Yoni vishodhana as Pre-conceptional care to achieve a
successful healthy natural conception was explained from classics and the practical application is put forth by
relevant short case presentations.Discussion and Conclusion: Yoni Dosha refers
to abnormalities in the reproductive organs, which makes the same, hostile in
achieving natural conception. Yoni vishodhana, achieved by different treatment
modalities according to the different bodily constitution of the individuals'
(Prakruti), paves way for a healthy natural conception.
