Abstract
Background: Parenthood is one most desired goal of every couple, and failure to procreate causes great anguish. Infertility is a social stigma at many places in India dominated by illiteracy and lower socio-economic standards. It affects the psychological harmony, marital life and social functioning of those affected. Infertility is the inability of a sexually active, non-contracepting couple to achieve spontaneous pregnancy in 1 year. Shodhana(bio-purification) is recommended in such cases to enhance the effects of ayurvedic anti infertility therapy ( vajikarana ). Virechana( therapeutic purgation) is largely indicated for cases having a semen abnormality ( shukra dushti) . Phala Ghrita ( PG) is a poly herbal formulation
reported to be useful in improving fertility.. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate efficacy of Phala Ghrita oral administration after performing a course of virechana in cases of oligozoospermia. Materials and Methods: 51 eligible male participants between the age of 21 and 40 years, with sperm count <15 million/ml, received Phala Ghrita for 8 weeks in the dose of 10g, after undergoing virechana . Percentage changes in the semen parameters and associated symptoms of oligozoospermia in comparison to baseline were the primary outcomes measured. Results: Phala Ghrita administered after virechana provided increase of 66.07 % in total sperm count, 45.19% increase in sperm motility, 15.73% increase in normal form of total sperm, 40.62% decrease in abnormal forms, and increase in semen volume by 43.12%.. Conclusion: Administration of Phala Ghrita after performing virechana provided statistically highly significant improvement on various seminal parameters related to male infertility including oligozoospermia.

Key words: Ksheena Shukra, oligozoospermia, Phala Ghrita , Virechana
