Woman is symbol of beauty. ‘Beauty must not be skin deep’. It should be maintained internally also. There are many physiological changes takes place in women’s body which is markedly seen in the reproductive life. Menstrual cycle is such a unique phenomenon in the body which includes dramatical monthly change in the hormones, which ends finally with the shedding of endometrium. Artava Kshaya, a condition characterized by deficient menstrual flow and delayed cycles, has emerged as a significant gynecological challenge in contemporary Ayurvedic practice. Often correlated with Oligohypomenorrhea, it stems from a complex interplay of Vata-Kapha imbalance and Rasa-Agnimandya. This review aims to systematically analyze the classical Ayurvedic perspectives on Artava Kshaya alongside modern clinical parameters. The review highlights the necessity of addressing the H-P-O-U (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovarian-Uterine) axis through holistic metabolic correction to restore reproductive health and fertility.
