Pushyanug Churna
Pushyanug Churna is a herbal Ayurvedic medicine commonly used in the Ayurvedic treatment of all menstrual disorders such as excessive bleeding, painful periods, mid-cycle bleeding, and heavy bleeding before menopause[1].
According to Ayurveda, Pushyang Churna has pitta balancing and Kashaya (astringent) properties which help in managing excessive bleeding, a condition called menorrhagia. This astringent property along with Stambhana (stopping) property helps reduce the discomfort associated with leucorrhea. It also helps provide relief in burning sensation and discomfort in piles due to its Sita (cold) and Kashya (astringent) nature. In addition to that, it helps control diarrhea by making the stool thick and controlling water loss due to its Grahi (absorbent) and Kashaya (astringent) properties.
You can take 2-3gm Pushyanug Churna or as directed by the doctor. Have it with Tandulodak (water extracted after washing rice). Take it once or twice a day, preferably after meals to get rid of the symptoms of leucorrhea or other menstrual problems. Avoid self-medication or taking Pushyanug Churna in excess.

According to Ayurveda, both these conditions are known as Asrigdara.
