Menstruation is the naturally occurring cleansing process in every woman. Overall intensity of a woman's period indicates her sexual rights. In our Ayurvedic texts, there are many Paricharyas (mode of living) like Rajaswala, garbhini, sutika etc described by our Acharya’s to maintain the health of a woman. The do’s & don’ts described for Rajaswala stree is termed as “Rajaswala paricharya” and is ignored in today’s era. The co-relation The value of current mechanics of menstruation as well as Rajaswala paricharya will highlight the need for more adhering to Rajaswala paricharya. The Rajaswala paricharya helps women to cope up with the physiological & psychological changes that takes place in the body during this period. The foundation of supraja or good progeny lies at the level of the beeja. Ayurveda lays great stress upon Shuddha Beeja and Artava as a basis for supraja. The selection of the dominant follicle happens on the 5th To 7th day of the cycle. It is therefore very obvious that the lifestyle followed by the menstruating woman will have an impact on the quality of the developing follicle. Hence, the concept of Supraja Jananam i.e healthy progeny begins at the very early level of Rajaswala paricharya. Therefore, in the present era, with the increasing incidence of menstrual irregularities, PCOD, infertility etc, there is an urgent need to follow Rajaswala paricharya.
