ABSTRACT

Garbhodaka is one entity on the basis of which the foetus sustain its survival. The quantity of Garbhodaka can decide the wellbeing of Garbha and when it reduces drastically it affects the growth and development of the foetus and hinders movement of the fetus. Oligohydromnios is a condition of abnormal low amniotic fluid volume that has been associated with poor pregnancy outcome. This is a case study on a patient with mild oligohydramnios diagnosed at 33weeks of gestation complaining of reduced foetal movements. Abdominal examination was suggestive of oligohydramnios as fundal height was lesser corresponding to the period of gestation and was confirmed by USG where AFI was 7.0 cm. In this case, Shatavari ksheerapaka was given orally and ksheera anda basti was administered. Shatavari has madhura rasa, sheetaveerya, balya, brihmana properties. It is also a rasayana and garbha sthapaka dravya. Goksheera is ajanma satmya, madhura rasa yukta, sheeta veerya, balya, brihmana and a nitya rasayana. Egg is rich in phosphorus, calcium, potassium and contains moderate amount of sodium. It also contains protein, carbohydrate and fat. Shatavari Ksheerapaka and Ksheera anda basti(milk and egg) helped in the improvement of the amniotic fluid volume which were evident after 17days of treatment.
