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. The plant extracts increase the spontaneous activity of uterus causing increase in contraction. According to ayurveda, the whole process of prasava is completely based on prasuti maruta or apana vayu.

Potaki have madhura rasa, snigdha guna, madhura vipaka and vata pitta nashak action. Due to these properties potaki pacifies vitiated apana vayu, and helps in easy and smooth delivery. Thus in the present study, potaki taila application in vagina in the form of pichu has been done to facilitate easy and smooth delivery.
