Among various lifestyle disorders, women delivering by caesarean section can also be considered one of it. Ayurveda has described many things for the sake of natural vaginal delivery. Most of the plants claimed to be oxytocics are used to induce and maintain labour, aid the removal of retained placenta, regulate post partum bleeding and so on.

Thus in the present study, potaki taila application in vagina in the form of pichu has been done to facilitate easy and smooth delivery.
