Excessive uterine bleeding (known as menorrhagia when it occurs during menstruation, and as metrorrhagia when it occurs as “mid-cycle” bleeding) is a common problem, particularly affecting women in the age group of 35-50 years. This condition may be due to hormonal imbalance, fibroids, or other causes. In addition to being an inconvenience, excessive bleeding can contribute to anemia. Often, it is difficult to control the bleeding without resorting to treatments that may have serious adverse effects, such as hormone therapy or surgery. Therefore, natural therapies are often sought.

In the field of Ayurvedic medicine, there is one herb that stands out as especially useful for treating excessive uterine bleeding: the bark of Saraca asoka. Asoka means ‘TAKING AWAY SORROW’. The herb stimulates the uterus, making contractions more frequent and prolonged. Ashoka has an astringent taste and stimulating effect on the endometrium and the ovaries tissues, and is useful in many gynecological problems, such as uterine bleeding associated with fibroids and the treatment of leucorrhoea.

Saraca Asoka has been efficacious in regularizing big menstrual disturbances without producing any side effects. Its effect on the ovarian tissue may produce an estrogen - like activity that enhances the repair of the endometrium and stops bleeding. In metrorrhagia, in addition to decreasing the uterine bleeding, it regularizes the interval between two cycles. Besides treating the symptoms of fatigue and generalized weakness, the use of Asoka provides immense relief from painful menses, the premenstrual syndrome, and non-specific white discharge (leukorrhea).

Increased kapha creates the obstruction in the bile duct which obstructs the flow of bile (correlated with pitta). Hence the pitta remains stagnant in the gall bladder and has no space to move which also increases the amount of pitta. Due to this the size of liver is enlarged. Hence andrographis panicullata helps in cleansing the obstruction created by kapha by reducing kapha which in turn facilitates proper flow of pitta. It also acts as laxative and helps in eliminating out the excess pitta in the body through urine and stools and balances the pitta level in the body.
