Abstract

Ayurveda emphasizes the concept of Deha Prakriti, the inherent constitution of an individual, as a foundational determinant of health, disease susceptibility, and physiological attributes. All the physiological process are directly controlled by Vata-Pitta and Kapha (three body humors) and Mansika Doshas (functional psychic factors). Semen quality is a critical factor in male fertility, and its parameters—such as volume, sperm count, motility, and morphology—are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. This review explores existing literature on the correlation between different Deha Prakriti types (Vata, Pitta, Kapha, and their combinations) and semen parameters in males. Evidence suggests that Kapha-predominant Prakriti is often associated with superior semen quantity and quality, while Vata and Pitta dominance may correlate with suboptimal parameters.
