Due to its properties it is VataPitta Dosha Nashak and Kapha Dosha Vardhak. Thus, these all factors affects in the nourishment of all the seven Dhatus (tissues) of human body. Nourishment of seven Dhatus lead to Vrishan Karma (aphrodisiac action) of body. Vrishan Karma of human body is directly related with the Vyadhiksamatava (Immunity). If Vyadhikshamatva of body is more then the Vrishyata of body increases. As per Modern Science Piyush is known as a cow colostrum.

Thus Piyush provide a novel treatment option for the Vrishan Karma in body. This review explores the current knowledge on the beneficial effect of Piyush supplementation in the above condition
