Abstract
Pradarari Loha is a classical Ayurvedic herbo mineral formulation described in Bhaishajya Ratnavali under Pradararoga Chikitsa Prakarana. It is traditionally indicated in the management of pradara disorders, including śhweta pradara (abnormal vaginal discharge) and rakta pradara (dysfunctional uterine bleeding), which are attributed to doṣa vitiation, dhātu kṣaya, and impaired hemostasis. The formulation is prepared using Kuṭaja kvātha as the base, combined sukshma churna of Mañjiṣṭhā, Śālmalī, Pāṭhā, Bilva phala majja, Musta, Dhātakī, and Ativiṣa, along with mineral components like Abhraka bhasma and Lauha bhasma all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly to obtain homogeneous mass from which pills are prepared.This formulation exhibits stambhana (hemostatic), rasāyana (rejuvenative), bālya (strength promoting), and rakta pittahara (anti hemorrhagic) properties. By strengthening the uterus, supporting hematopoiesis, and enhancing metabolic functions, Pradarari Lauha offers comprehensive therapeutic benefits in gynecological disorders.
