Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a state of abnormal uterine bleeding. It is a diagnosis of excluding any clinically detectable organic, systemic and iatrogenic cause. Current treatments available have many side effects, including hormonal imbalance. So there exists a lacuna for a safe and effective treatment without side effects for this condition. The present study is an effort to evaluate the combined effect of fruit of Badara [Ziziphus jujuba(L). Lam] with Palm jaggery in Dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The study design is interventional with a sample size of 15 subjects within the age group of 16-50 years.
