71. RESEARCH WORK ON BETA SITOSTEROL IS THE COMMONLY SEEN CHEMICAL CONSTITUENT IN THE ASAVA β-Sitosterol Ameliorates Endometrium Receptivity in PCOS-Like Mice: The Mediation of Gut Microbiota Conclusion : It was found that β-sitosterol can regulate endometrial receptivity and sex hormone balance in PCOS -like mice, which may be related to its regulation effect on gut microbiota. At the same time, β-sitosterol-treated mice feces transplanted into PCOS-like mice, also contributed to the improvement of PCOS. Results suggested that β-sitosterol has a good clinical application prospect in the treatment of PCOS.

72. CONCLUSION In the disease nashtapushpa , there is mainly derangement of vata . Reason of vata vitiation here may be due to the margarodha of vata by kapha ie avruta apana vayu. अपानेनावृते सर्व दीपनं ग्राहि भेषजम् ।। २४३ ।। वातानुलोमनं पक्वाशयविशोधनम् । (Ca. ci 28) Treatment of avrta apana vata should be agni deepana,grahi ,vatanulomana and pakwashaya shudhikara according to charaka. Kumaryasava p roduce the specific target action on the Garbhashaya, Arthava Dhatu and Apanavata .

75. Research paper on Kumaryasava   A CLINICAL COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF KUMARYASAVA AND RAJAHPRAVARTANI VATI IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PRATHMIK KASTARTAVA W.S.R. TO (PRIMARY DYSMENORRHOEA): A PROSPECTIVE OPEN LABEL SINGLE CENTER STUDY To compare and evaluate the efficacy and safety of  Kumaryasava   with  Rajahpravartani   Vati  in the patients suffering from  Prathmik - Kashtartava . 50 pat i ents were divided into two groups (A and B) with twenty five patients in each. Patients of group A were administered Kumaryasava 20 ml with equal amount of water and that of group B were administered tab  Rajahpravartini vati   (125 mg) 2BD after meal with normal water before 7 days of menses and during menstrual cycle. Total duration of course of medicine was 3 consecutive cycles. Follow-up was done at every menstrual cycle during the treatment and follow- up without treatment was done for next three cycles. RESULT : After three month of treatment, in both groups the baseline pain was found to be improved in every cycle . But when the overall result was observed highly significant results were found in group B in comparison to group A. The effect of Kumaryasava on associated symptoms was found to be more than Rajahpravartini vati.
