A study conducted by the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) indicates that nearly 80% of adolescent girls in India face significant menstrual health challenges, with around 30% missing school due to these issues. This highlights a pressing public health concern that has gained attention in recent years. Union Ayush Minister Prataprao Jadhav emphasized the importance of menstrual health for women's dignity and overall well-being, advocating for homeopathy as a safe and cost-effective treatment option. The CCRH's findings stem from a programme involving over 10,000 girls across 24 states, with the first phase completed in 2024 and 2025. The second phase will expand to 16 states and 54 schools to further promote awareness and provide treatment. Experts note that menstrual disorders often require long-term management, and homeopathy's individualized approach may significantly improve health outcomes. With millions of girls affected, the need for sustainable and patient-centric healthcare solutions is critical.
