Abstract

Male infertility refers to a male’s inability to conceive in a fertile female. It is a common problem now-a-days because of improper lifestyle and unhealthy food habits which causes Shukra dhatu kshaya in youngsters. Healthy Shukra is responsible for healthy off springs. Shukrala dravyas produce healthy shukra which is responsible for garbha dharan (conception). Seven dhatus make the human body. Out of seven dhatus sukra is the last and purest form of dhatus. According to Acharya Charaka, Shukra dhatus is of half Anjali (selfmeasurement). Shukrala karma is mentioned by Acharya Sharangadhara in Sharangadhara Samhita, Purvardha, 4th chapter, Deepan-Pachanadi Kathanam. Ayurveda has always given importance of having healthy offspring. Many drugs have been mentioned in our science for this karma. Here we have screened Bhavaprakasha Nighantu of Bhavamishra for Shukrala, Shukraprada, shukrakar, veeryakar dravyas.
