Action Of Phalaghrita On Cervical Mucus

Cervical Mucus

Amount: Anabolic action of Phalaghrita increases more secretary units and proper estrogenic effect on cervical epithelium due to the proper function of receptor mechanism, thus the cervical mucus increases in amount.

Viscosity and Spinnbarkeit: It decreases Pichchhilata of Kapha and increases thin ness (fluidity) of mucus due to Laghu guna, thus the viscosity decreases and hence spinnbarkeit increases.

Cellularity: Pus cells and leukocytes are decreased by anti infectious properties of drug as well as the debris is decreased by anabolic properties, thus the mucus becomes clear.

Fern: Dipana, Anulomana, and Pachana karma does the proper estrogenic effect on cervical mucus and results improper ferning.

pH: Sheeta and Mrudu guna inhibit the ushna and Tikshna guna of Pitta and decrease acidic mucus.
