Role of Tila tail (Sesame Oil) Sevana in Pragbhakta Kaala in Kashtartava

Dr. Poonam Bharat Mandhare, Vd. Sampada Dattatray Thakur

Abstract: Kashtartava, commonly understood as painful menstruation, is frequently seen in women between adolescence and early adulthood. Although not considered a life-threatening condition, it significantly influences daily functioning, productivity, and overall well-being. Classical Ayurvedic texts describe Kashtartava more as a symptom occurring within various yoni-vyapad conditions rather than as a distinct disease. Because pain cannot manifest without the involvement of Vata dosha, and because the expulsion of menstrual blood is governed by Apana Vayu, disturbances in this subtype of Vata form a key factor in the condition?s pathogenesis. Sesame oil (Tila Taila), a well-known Vata-pacifying substance, when administered at the appropriate therapeutic time (Bhaishajya Kaala), may help in reducing discomfort and restoring balance.
