    TLDR The manuscript "Strīvilāsa" offers ancient Ayurvedic knowledge on women's health, beauty treatments, and reproductive care.
    The document discusses "Strīvilāsa," an Ayurvedic manuscript focused on women's health, beauty, and vitality. It contains seven chapters detailing treatments for female diseases, aphrodisiacs, and cosmetic procedures such as vaginal tightening, breast firming, hair enhancement, complexion improvement, and anti-lice treatments. Additionally, it covers the treatment of gynecological disorders, infertility, prenatal care, and preparations for easier labor. Although some researchers have reviewed parts of the manuscript, it has not been fully translated into English or published. The document suggests that "Strīvilāsa" may be the first independent work on gynecology and could provide valuable insights for the scientific community in Ayurvedic obstetrics and gynecology.
