ABSTRACT

Infertility is a threat that is challenging the humanity in the contemporary world. Modern science has developed various artificial reproductive techniques which simulates the natural reproductive physiology. But these techniques are having very limited success rates. Hence it is very crucial to integrate the ancient wisdom which is having solution for all the modern lifestyle disorders. Phyllanthus emblica L. (Indian gooseberry) is an ayurvedic traditional fruit which was explained to be enhancing the spermatogenesis in males according to Ayurveda, Traditional Indian system of Medicine. This article emphasises on exploring the therapeutic potential of multiple chemicals which initiates various phytochemical pathways that collectively enhances the spermatogenic potential of this drug. A detailed review was conducted on Scopus, PubMed, Google scholar, Ayush Portal and DHARA. The study involves enlisting of all the active phytochemicals of Phyllanthus emblica L. with the help of Dr, Duke’s phytochemical database. These phytochemicals are then critically analysed to explore all the possible pathways of chemical reactions which can enhance the spermatogenic activity in human beings. It was found that Phyllanthus emblica forms a source for twelve phytochemicals which collectively work as a synergy to enhance the spermatogenic function in males. This research hence substantiates the spermatogenic potential of Phyllanthus emblica as explained in Ayurvedic classics. Keywords: Amalaki, Ayurveda, Infertility, Medicine, Traditional, Vajikarana
