Is Sukumar kashaya required to be taken if already taking Ashokarishta for amenorrhoea that is skanty and delayed menstrual cycles at abot age 28?
Ashokarishta is actually used as a uterine tonic. But it is traditionally indicated to stop excessive bleeding rather than to treat amenorrhoea (Reference: Bhaishajya ratnavali). Sukumar kashaya is again used in the treatment of pain during menstruation. So the combination is rarely used in the treatment of Amenorrhoea. I suppose, it is better to consult an Ayurvedic doctor for proper medicines rather than self medication. Regards – Dr Hebbar.
