• Withania somnifera root powder when administered to normozoospermic infertile man for 3 months showed a significant reduction in stress, improved antioxidants, and enhanced semen volume.
• The aqueous extract of this herb has been shown to improve spermatogenesis, owing to elevated interstitial cell stimulating hormone and testosterone-mimicking effects together with induction of nitric oxide synthase.

• The seed extract of M. pruriens showed marked improvement in sexual potency and behavior, libido, sperm parameters, and endocrine levels.
• In a clinical study, pruriens seeds increased sperm concentration and motility in all the infertile groups, the levels of lipids, antioxidant vitamins and corrected fructose were recovered after a decrease in lipid peroxides after treatment. ^{Bio Med Research International. Vol 2014, 19 pages.}

Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus)

Shatavari can serve as a powerful male tonic. With a bittersweet taste, this herb renders cooling and purifying effect to the liver and blood and targets pitta at its main site in the small intestine.

Shweta Musli (Asparagus adscendens)

The aqueous extract of dried roots of this herb enhanced sexual arousal, strength, and libido as well as sperm count in Wistar male rats. Extract of this herb showed anabolic and spermatogenic effect in treated male rats.

Shalmali (Bombax ceiba)

Bombax ceibais is used traditionally in Indian subcontinent as sexual stimulant. In an animal study, treatment with B. ceiba extract had a pronounced effect on sexual behaviour. A significant increase in mount, intromission and ejaculation frequency was observed in case of B. ceiba treated animals. Mount latency time that is an indicator of physical exhaustion during a sexual act was reduced by 38% in B. ceiba treated and 34% in testosterone-treated group as compared to control group. Intromission (IL) and PEL time was reduced by 34% in B. ceiba treated group whereas only 17% reduction was observed in testosterone-treated group. Reduced IL and PEL have been correlated with invigoration of endocrine system thereby, resulting in enhanced sexual performance and motivation.^{Andrologia 2012, 44, 474–478}

Amalaki is one of the greatest rejuvenators and a powerful natural antioxidant. It also helps to boost the immune system. Amla pacifies all the three dosha - vata, pitta and kapha - it has a wide range of corrective and curative effects on the human body.

A laboratory study indicates that E. officinalia plays a core role to reduce the Chlorpyrifos (Fertilizer) toxicity in male reproductive aspect. When the subjects were treated with E. officinalis in conjugation with Chlorpyrifos, the parameters like body weight, male reproductive organ weight, sperm count, sperm morphology, ACP, ALP, total protein, uric acid and serum testosterone exhibited recovery and when treated with E. officinalis alone, these parameters were near to the control group that highlights the scavenging property of E. officinalis.^{Springer Plus 2013, 2:541}

Kokilaksha (Asteracantha longifolia)

In a study, the effect of seeds of A.longifolia on the sexual behaviour of male albino rats was evaluated. The extract of seeds of A. longifolia was administered to groups of rats for a period of 28 days. The ethanolic extract exhibited pronounced anabolic effects in treated animals. Increased spermatogenesis due to treatment with extracts was also witnessed in transverse section. A significant increase in the sperm count as well as fructose levels of seminal vesicles was noted.^{Natural Product Research. Vol. 25, No. 15, September 2011, 1423–1431}
