ABOUT THE BOOK

Anti-Leucorrhoeal Drugs of Ayurveda, authored by the eminent pharmacologist Dr. Gyanendra Pandey, is a specialized and highly research-oriented treatise dedicated to the Ayurvedic management of gynecological disorders, with a specific focus on leucorrhoea. Published as an authoritative reference work, this book bridges ancient Sanskrit gynecological texts with modern clinical gynaecology and phytochemistry.

In the classical Ayurvedic paradigm, leucorrhoea is primarily studied under the umbrella of Pradara (specifically Shveta Pradara or white discharge), which is understood as a manifestation of aggravated Kapha Dosha affecting the Annavaha and Artavaha Srotas (the reproductive and metabolic channels). Dr. Pandey’s work provides a comprehensive technical roadmap for practitioners and researchers by analyzing the etiology, pathogenesis (Samprapti), and clinical symptoms of Shveta Pradara alongside modern classifications of vaginal discharges.

The core of this volume is dedicated to detailed botanical, chemical, and pharmacological profiles of powerful Indian medicinal plants that possess Yoni-Roga-Hara (gynecological disease-curing) and Kashaya (astringent) properties. Dr. Pandey highlights elite Ayurvedic herbs such as Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), Ashoka (Saraca asoca), Udumbala (Ficus racemosa), and Pradarantaka Churna ingredients. He meticulously aligns the traditional attributes of these herbs—such as their Stambhana (arresting/binding actions), Krimighna (antimicrobial/antifungal actions), and Kaphahara (mucus-reducing qualities)—with modern medical parameters like anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and uterine-tonic activities. The text also includes crucial guidelines on classical pharmaceutical preparations, dosage forms, and specific dietary regimens (Pathya-Apathya) necessary to restore systemic balance and prevent recurrence.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dr. Gyanendra Pandey is a towering authority in the field of Dravyaguna Vijnana, which encompasses Ayurvedic pharmacology, ethnobotany, and medicinal plants. With a distinguished career spanning decades as a senior scientist and official researcher under various central research councils in India, he is widely regarded as one of the most prolific chroniclers of traditional Indian medicine.

Dr. Pandey’s writing is celebrated for its uncompromising scientific rigor and scriptural fidelity. He specializes in cross-referencing ancient Sanskrit compendiums like the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Astanga Hrdayam, and various Nighantus with modern clinical data and biochemical profiles. Rather than presenting Ayurveda as an alternative folklore, his life's work—including his monumental multi-volume series on medicinal plants—has consistently aimed to validate ancient formulas under the strict parameters of global scientific scrutiny, making him an invaluable guide for gynecologists, phytochemists, and integrated medicine practitioners worldwide.
