MECHANISM OF ACTION

The probable cause of menstrual pain is excessive or imbalanced amount of prostaglandin F2α secreted from the endometrium, due to which the uterine contraction increases with an irregular pattern. This results in increased basal tone and increased active pressure. Uterine hyper contractility, decreased uterine blood flow and increased peripheral nerve hypersensitivity contribute to pain.

Vijaya (Cannabis) and Apamarg help reduce inflammation (shothahara) and alleviate abdominal pain (shoolanashak), Aloe vera facilitates removal of menstrual blood flow obstruction (rajorodhnaashak). The above properties of the ingredients helps in reducing the concentration of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and thus reduces pain.
