REVATI: AN AYURVEDIC LENS ON REPRODUCTIVE FAILURES Authors: Rathore L* And Kulkarni AA
ABSTRACT
Revati, also known as Jataharini, is a pathological entity elaborated in the Kashyapa Samhita, a
foundational Ayurvedic text focused on pediatrics (Kaumarabhritya) and gynecology (Striroga). This
review explores the mythological, clinical, and pathophysiological aspects of Jataharini as described
in Ayurvedic literature. The text discusses classifications based on prognosis, mode of transmission, and
timing of affliction, linking these ancient insights to possible modern gynecological disorders such as
delayed menarche, recurrent pregnancy loss, stillbirths, and neonatal deaths. By correlating Ayurvedic
conceptual frameworks with contemporary medical parallels, the study sheds light on the relevance of
ancient diagnostic wisdom and the psychosomatic interpretations of women’s reproductive health in
ancient Ayurvedic thought.
