Abstract

Physiology of Ayurveda is based on dosha, sapta-dhatus, mala, agni, triguna, ama, ojas and Srotas. Srotases are the channels (pores), which are present throughout the visible body as well as at the “invisible” or subtle level of the cells, molecules, atoms, and subatomic strata. It is through these channels that nutrients and other substances are transported in and among these, the channels carrying nutrients to the reproductive system is called Shukra vaha Srotas. Healthy functioning of shukravaha Srotas plays pivotal role in maintaining the harmony and happiness in marital life. A light has been thrown on concept of physiological action of shukra vriddhikar and srutikar dravyas on reproductive system in both sexes. Anatomical and Physiological aspect of Reproductive system is significant in understanding the action of drugs on enhancement in structural qualities and functional upgradation to achieve fertility.
