Vandhyatva (infertility) has been a long standing problem since ancient times. Many herbal and herbo-mineral formulations are mentioned as treatment of infertility in the ancient texts,but they are not categorized according to the responsible factor of infertility.It is need of the hour to evaluate the efficacy of formulations with respect to various factors . With the above aim a clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Phalaghrita Uttarbasti on cervical factor i.e scanty cervical mucus. For clinical trial total 7 patients were selected for this study. Intracervical Uttarbasti of Phalaghrita (3 ml) was administered in every sitting for 6 days after end day of menses subsequently for two cycles. Sims-Huhner and Moghissi cervical mucus Test and post coital test were selected for the diagnosis and for evaluation of efficacy of therapy on cervical factor. Statistically highly significant result were found on spinnbarkeit(p<0.01). and significant result were found in amount and viscosity(p<0.05) and insignificant result were found in cellularity, and ferning (p>0.1).
