Ayurvedic Treatment for Leukorrhea at Amar Clinic
Leukorrhea, medically known as white vaginal discharge, is one of the most common complaints among women of all ages, often causing distress and discomfort. It is characterized by a thick, whitish, yellowish, or greenish vaginal discharge that can sometimes have a strong odor. While a certain amount of vaginal discharge is normal and serves protective functions, persistent or excessive leukorrhea usually indicates underlying imbalances or infections.
At Amar Clinic, we offer effective, safe, and holistic Ayurvedic treatment for leukorrhea, aiming to address the root causes, restore natural balance, and promote female reproductive health with personalized care.
Understanding Leukorrhea
Leukorrhea can be physiological or pathological. Physiological leukorrhea occurs due to hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, or menstruation and usually does not require treatment. Pathological leukorrhea, however, may result from infections, hormonal imbalances, poor hygiene, or chronic inflammation.
Causes of Leukorrhea
Hormonal imbalance—especially estrogen and progesterone
Infections—bacterial, fungal (Candida), parasitic (Trichomonas), or sexually transmitted infections
Inflammation of the vaginal or cervical mucosa
Poor genital hygiene or improper use of feminine hygiene products
Stress and diet-related immune suppression
Certain systemic illnesses or metabolic conditions
Signs and Symptoms
Abnormal vaginal discharge—thick, foul-smelling, yellowish or greenish
Vaginal itching and irritation (Yoni Kandu)
Burning sensation around vulva (Yoni Daha)
Lower backache
Foul odor and discomfort during sexual intercourse
Sometimes associated with pelvic pain or urinary complaints
Ayurvedic Understanding of Leukorrhea (Shwetapradara)
In Ayurveda, leukorrhea is termed Shwetapradara and classified within Kaphaja Yonivyapada (Kapha dosha dominant vaginal disorders). It arises from imbalance and aggravation of Kapha dosha which leads to excessive mucus-type discharge. Additionally, impaired digestive fire (Agni), toxin build-up (Ama), and disturbance of Apana Vata (a subtype of Vata dosha governing downward flow and reproductive system health) contribute to disease pathology.

Our expert practitioners perform a thorough examination including constitutional analysis, symptom evaluation, and diagnostic tests to rule out infections or hormonal issues. This ensures a targeted and effective treatment plan.

Other commonly used herbs include Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), Dhataki (Woodfordia fruticosa), Daruharidra (Berberis aristata), Nagarmotha (Cyperus rotundus), and Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) for their Kapha-balancing and astringent properties.
3. Local Treatments (Sthanik Chikitsa)

Dhoopan (Herbal Fumigation): To reduce infection and improve local circulation and healing.

Use herbal teas and spices that promote digestion and detox, such as cumin, coriander, and ginger.
