A Role of Gokshuradi Churna in Shukra Beeja Ksheenata - A Case Study

Abstract

Infertility can complicate the most intimate relationships. It brings many strains - On time, finances, ability to make decisions and even the job. Although, both the partners experience it at the same time, each one is likely to have different feelings, often widely divergent ones, about one's impaired fertility. Sperm count of less than 15 million sperm / ml is considered as the condition of Oligozoospermia, although this lower limit or the reference limit set by WHO has been considered too low for a lower reference limit because the probability of pregnancy is essentially linear with sperm concentrations up to 40–50 million sperms / ml. Oligozoospermia stands near to the term Ksheena Shukra which is among eight types of Shukradushti mentioned in the classics and is a Vata Pittaja Vyadhi. The word “Kseen-Shukra” is made up of two words. i.e., Ksheena and Shukra. Ksheena is to decrease and Shukra is the 7^thDhatu of body. Vajikarana (Aphrodisiac therapy) a branch of Ayurveda deals with the promotion of sexual health, healthy progeny, treatment of male sexual disorders (erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation) and infertility. Vajikarana therapy improves the nourishment and function of the reproductive organs and vitalizes tissues of reproductive organs, increasing sperm count, quality and strengthening their motility and making sperms more viable for conception.
