The physiological activities of the human body are divided into three categories by Ayurveda: Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala. They make up the body's fundamental components. They are fed by Sara portion generated in nutritive fluid in Dhatuvaha srotas and genrerated from Dhatu. It indicates they aren't made from Ahara rasa directly. Updhatus are significant physiological units that are generated from Dhatus and are structurally, functionally, and naturally similar to Dhatus. These elements are listed as 'Prasadaja' elements by Astanga Sangrahakara. In the Samhita, Kala Charaka Samhita was the first to clarify all of the Upadhatus in one Sutra. In the human body, there are seven dhatus and their updhatus. Artva (Menstrual blood, Ovum) is an updhatu of the rasa dhatu that is vital for female reproductive health. It refers to a specific function of female physiology, namely reproduction. It is now known as "Menses" in modern terminology. In this topic, we will look at Ayurvedic menstrual physiology. We've taken "Bahipushpa" to mean menses in this case. It is critical for the development of Garbha that Artava be "Shuddha," or normal in nature. Because Rajapravrutti has a negative impact on women's health, every woman should have a fundamental understanding of Rajapravrutti. It is necessary these days to preserve healthy female health. Definition of Artava, kinds of Artava, Shudha lakshana, Artava Pravrutti kala, Artava matra, Panchbhautikatwa, Artava Nivrutti kala, Artavadarshanam, Acharyas' Opinions on Artava, and so on will be covered in this topic.
