Dr. Ashrita S.*

ABSTRACT

The pursuit of every human being on this earth is to attain Purusharthas which are the main aims of life. Trayopastambhas are responsible for the Dharana of Shareera. Brmhacharya being one among Trayopastambha when done with rationality yields in Bala, Pushti, Yasha and Shriya. Sedentary lifestyle, intake of unwholesome diet, stress etc; have been the common cause for Male Infertility resulting in upto 15% of couples being infertile wherein inability to conceive a child has been a major concern. Shodhana has been given a prime importance as a pre-requisite to Vajikarana. Charaka classifies Dravyatmaka Karmas related to Shukravaha Srotas as, a. Shukra Janana b. Shukra Shodhana. Sushruta classifies Vajikarana Dravyas as Shukra Janaka, Shukra Pravartaka and Shukra Janaka-Pravartaka. Sharangadhara classifies Vajikarana Aushadha Dravyas as Shukra Pravartaka, Shukra Rechaka, Shukra Janaka-Pravartaka, Shukra Stambhaka and Shukra Shoshaka with best suited examples. Precision over selection of Dravya becomes necessary to plan Chikitsa. So, Dravya Jnana becomes utmost important. Thus understanding of Guna-Karmas of Dravya becomes important for its application in Chikitsa.
