Abstract
Ayurveda is the science of healthy life. In Ayurveda texts, there is brief description of body and its anatomical structures. Proper understanding of terminology is vital for gaining systematic knowledge of any structure especially in context of Sharira Rachana. The aim of the present article is to compile, analyse the terminology related to Aartava and elaborate the fundamental concepts behind those terminologies in various classics of Ayurveda. Different synonyms of Aartava have been stated in classical texts such as Stribija, Shonita, Raja, Asruka, Antapushpa and Bahipushpa. These synonyms have been used in different context in the texts. Some synonyms of Aartava are stated in the context of conception and some synonyms are stated in the context of menstruation. In modern science separate terminologies are stated for different phases in a women’s life such as menstrual phase and reproductive phase. This article can be helpful to understand the various terminologies related to the term Aartava and the concept of Aartava in view of modern science.
