Abstract

Ayurveda possesses a wealth of ancient and well-established theories aimed at achieving holistic physical, mental and social well-being. To comprehend Ayurvedic state of well-being, an individual must delve into the study of Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala. Ayurvedic texts outline seven Dhatus with Shukra being the seventh Dhatu, revered as the essence of all Dhatus. Recent studies have frequently indicated that despite men exhibiting favourable semen parameters, they may still face difficulties in conceiving after a prolonged period of unprotected intercourse. Ayurveda places significant emphasis on the preservation of both physical well-being and emotional contentment. In order to attain overall happiness and a harmonious existence, it becomes imperative to accomplish all life's objectives. The creation of offspring is an integral aspect of human life, alongside the pursuit of happiness. This abstract explores the role of Ayurvedic herbs in managing Shukra Dosha. Commonly used herbs include Musli, Kapikacchu, Jatiphla, Kupilu etc. each offering unique benefits. Overall, Ayurvedic herbs present promising avenues for managing Shukra Dosha and improving overall reproductive health.
