ABSTRACT

Introduction: The results of this study highlight the significance of investigating complementary therapies that come from natural sources, like Ayurvedic medicine, in order to treat complicated medical problems like PMS. To validate these findings and clarify the underlying mechanisms of action, more investigation is necessary. Overall, this study adds to the increasing amount of data that suggests Brahmi Churna capsules may be a useful intervention for PMS-affected women, giving this demographic hope for better health and a higher quality of life. Background: A 27-year-old unmarried girl came to Parul Ayurved Hospital, with complains of irritability, anxiety, depression, anger bursts and poor concentration before menstruation. With associated complaints of breast tenderness, abdominal bloating and recurrent headaches for 1 year. Results: PMS self-rating score on first visit was ‘20’ followed by ‘14’ after one month of intervention and further reduced to ‘12 on third visit’. During initial visit patients score was calculated by adding PMS-OR and self-rating scores which came out to be ‘39 and was interpreted as severe’, after treatment total of PMS-OR and self-rating scores was ‘16 which is interpreted as mild’ on severity scale of PMS. VAS assessment score was ‘10 on initial visit interpreted as worst possible symptom on VAS symptom scale’, it reduced to ‘4 after first month’ of medicine intake and further reduced to ‘3 after treatment interpreted as mild on VAS symptom scale”. Conclusion: Ayurveda may offer a promising substitute for medication in cases of premenstrual syndrome. Keywords: Ayurveda, gynecology, premenstrual syndrome, PMS, PMDD, Rituvyapada
