Incidence of infertility is on rise due to lifestyle changes. Rough estimates suggest that nearly 30 million couples
in India suffer from infertility, making the incidence rate of infertile couples at 10 per cent. Amongst the causes
of female infertility, ovarian dysfunction contributes about 40% which includes anovulation i.e. failure of
follicle development and release of ovum. Modern medical treatment of this condition is burdensome financially
as well as it is associated with risk factors including early menopause, ovarian carcinoma etc. In Ayurveda,
many herbs are described which are helpful to procure fertility. Shatpushpa is the single drug of choice which is
helpful in female reproductive disorders. Indication of Shatpushpa described by Kashyapa Samhita includes
amenorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, menopausal syndrome etc. Various researches have been carried out to evaluate
effect of Shatpushpa on infertility due to anovulatory factor and results are satisfactory even though it is given
by different route. There is need of time to evaluate effect of shatpushpa in the form of Shatpushpakalpa- the
unique method of administration of Shatpushpa given by AcharyaKashyapa.
