Abstract: Utharavasti in females through apatyamarga (vaginal orifice) is an important weapon for the practitioners in the field of streeroga. It should be administered preferably in the pre-ovulatory phase, after the menstrual phase. Utharavasti through apatyamarga can be done in 3 methods, considering the amount of medicine used and the extend up to which the vastinetra (enema nozzle) is introduced. Performing intra vaginal and intra cervical utharavasti are safe because the chance of complications is less. Deciding the type of utharavasti for a patient is based on the nature and extends of the disease and also the confidence of the physician
