It is defined as the inability of a couple to achieve conception after one year of unprotected coitus. This condition may be further classified as primary infertility, in which no previous pregnancies have occurred, and secondary infertility, in which a prior pregnancy, although not necessarily a live birth, has occurred. Most couples are more correctly considered to be subfertile, rather than infertile, because they will ultimately conceive if given enough time. Most couples presenting with a fertility problem will not be having absolute infertility, but rather relative subfertility with a reduced chance of conception because of one or more factors in either or both partners. This concept of subfertility can be reassuring to couples too. Disorders of ovulation account for about 30% to 40% of all cases of female infertility and are generally among the most easily diagnosed and most treatable causes of infertility. Shatapushpa is one among the best drugs in management of Vandhya due to ovulatory dysfunction owing to the properties described. Even a Vandhya or Shanda can deliver a child, on consumption of Shatapushpa signifies its prime role. Control of Vata Dosha is the principal step in management of female reproductive system disorders. Taila is the best medium for control of Vata. An attempt is made to evaluate the role of Shatapushpa Taila in Vandhya management wsr to PCOS with aid of case series. ER -
