Abstract
Ayurveda, an ancient system of healthcare, underscores the pivotal role of diet (Ahara), sleep (Nidra), and sense control (Bramhacharya) in maintaining optimal health. In the contemporary context, widespread adoption of unhealthy dietary patterns, characterized by high intake of saturated fats, sugars, and low antioxidant consumption, coupled with sedentary lifestyles, contributes significantly to the global burden of obesity and chronic diseases. Within Ayurveda, Vajikarana, a specialized branch focused on enhancing reproductive health, offers insights into aphrodisiac therapies and lifestyle practices. Notably, Ayurvedic texts classify certain vegetables (Shaka varga) as possessing Vrishya properties, emphasizing their role in promoting virility and reproductive vigor. This article delves into the Shaka varga from Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, focusing on the 16 Vrishya dravyas listed in it. It highlights the significance of vegetables in our everyday meals, underscoring their nutritive value and crucial role in preventing and managing infertility.
