Abstract: Labour is a natural physiological process, but it can involve intense pain and deviations due to anatomical, physiological, or unidentified factors. These variations can lead to abnormal labour presentations. When labour is induced with oxytocin or prostaglandins, cervical dystocia may occur, intensifying uterine inertia. In Ayurveda, detailed guidelines for Prasava Paricharya (childbirth care) exist, emphasizing smoother, less painful labour (Sukhprasava). Acharyas recommend a specific regimen during the ninth month of pregnancy (Navama Masa Garbhini Paricharya) to facilitate an easy delivery. Basti (enema therapy) is used to balance Vata and soften the areas around the abdomen, waist, and sides. Yoni Pichu (vaginal tampon soaked in medicinal oils) is also used to promote proper cervical effacement and ripening, helping to ease the labour process. Aim and Objective: To ensure a normal vaginal delivery without complications and to evaluate the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatment methods in facilitating Sukhaprasava. Methodology: Dasamool kwath asthapan basti along with kebuka taila yoni pichu after the onset of labour. Results: Reduction in duration and intensity of pain during labour. Conclusion: Dasamoola Kashaya Asthapan basti and Yoni pichu with kebuka taila was effective in progress of labour without complications.
