Rajasrava Kala is a period where the women undergo tremendous social, physiological and psychological changes in her body. Variations in hormones play an important role in the process of menstruation. Shareera is bound by Doshas and in particular menstruating women have imbalance of various Doshas which manifest in several symptoms of both physiological and psychological conditions like low back pain, abdominal cramps, bloating etc. These symptoms can be mitigated to a large extent by following the ancient tradition of Rajaswala Paricharya as propounded by various Acharyas irrespective of their Prakriti and Vaya. It is of paramount importance that the modern woman undergoes tremendous discomfort in bal-ancing her work and family to meet the demands of present lifestyle.
