White discharge (Leucorrhea)

Excessive white vaginal discharge can indicate infection or Kapha imbalance. Ayurveda treats the root cause with herbs, diet modifications, and hygiene practices.

Understanding Leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is an excessive whitish vaginal discharge that may be associated with itching, foul odour, or discomfort. While some discharge is normal, excessive amounts indicate an underlying imbalance.

Ayurvedic View

Leucorrhea is primarily a Kapha disorder (Shweta Pradara) caused by weakened Agni, poor digestion, and accumulation of Ama in the reproductive channels. It may also involve Pitta when inflammation is present.

Treatment Approach

Treatment includes Kapha-reducing herbs like Lodhra, Ashoka, and Triphala, Panchakarma procedures like Yoni Prakshalana, dietary modifications to reduce Kapha, and hygiene recommendations.
