Abstract

The need for sexual activity is as purposive as eating and drinking. Individual enjoying regular sex life remains young and enjoys a long life. It increases muscular strength, stability and give lustre to the skin. According to Ayurveda health is achieved by the use of two types of medicines i.e., Swasthasya Urjaskar (preventive medicines) and Artasya Roganut (curative medicine). Swasthasya Urjaskar is again of two types i.e., Rasayana (Rejuvenation therapy) and Vajikarana (aphrodisiac treatment). Vajikaran includes use of medicines causing virility as well as diet. Vajikaran medicines directly exert the effect on Shukra Dhatu and causes increase in quantity of semen or ejaculation or both.
