Abstract: Background: Uterine fibroids are the most common gynaecological disorder, and as such, it should not be surprising that, over the countries. It is also a well-known fact that fibroid is one of the lifestyle disorders that have risen to numbers that never existed before. Uterine fibroid, considered as Garbhashaya Granthi in this study, is one of the forms of current lifestyle disorder. When the fibroid size is small, it may or may not show symptoms. In the presence of symptoms, the patient may suffer from menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, anaemia, etc. Fibroid is dependent on oestrogen, and therefore, a hyperestrogenic state will be there. It will grow potentially in the childbearing period. An attempt is made to reverse this pathogenesis and reduce the fibroid growth. Aim: To analyse the efficacy of Sarjadi lepa along with oral Chitraka moola churna in the management of Garbhashaya Granthi with special reference to fibroid uterus. Method: A randomised open-labelled controlled clinical study of two groups of 15 patients, the control and trial groups, in each group. Results: Size of fibroid reduction was seen in both the groups, but Group B patients had a little more size reduction compared to Group A. Conclusion: Combined Chitraka moola churna orally along with Sarjadi lepa and alone Chitraka moola churna orally is equally effective in Garbhashaya Granthi with special reference to fibroid uterus.
