Abstract: As the disease uterine fibroid is the most common pelvic benign tumour, modern concepts were illustrated but not in Ayurveda. On the basis of specific clinical features of Mamsaja Arbuda as well as description of Arbuda in general, it can be said that all relatively big neoplasms developing from muscular and fibrous tissues (myoma and fibromas) come under Mamsaja Arbuda. Mainly Kapha-Vata Doshas, vitiate Dhatu particularly Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, also Dhatwagni mandya especially Mamsagni have found to be involved in the pathophysiology of Garbhashaya Arbuda compared with Sanga Pradhana Vyadhi. The present study was carried out to evaluate and compare the effect of Virechana followed by Triphaladi Yoga and Virechana followed by Intra Uterine Uttarbasti along with Triphaladi Yoga on Garbhashaya Arbuda (Uterine fibroid). 77 patients in the age group of 20-50 years were registered for the study, of these patients, 74 were completed the course of treatment. 09.09% patientsOut of 98 fibromyoma, total 19 fibromyoma were completely alleviated.
