| Abstract: | Population control is the need of the hour
to stabilise the world population growth and to decrease economic burden for
almost all the nations on this globe. There are well established contraceptive
drugs and measures have been evaluated in existing modern system of medicine.
But hormonal contraceptives can not be used for long duration due to their
severe side effects. Available local contraceptive measures do not give 100%
surety of prevention of conception. Permanent measures are surgical therapies
only. Hence, there is a need to evaluate alternate and safe formulations from
indigenous systems of medicine for temporary as well as permanent
sterilization. Hence in this present article, an attempt has been made to
review formulations described in Ayurvedic classics and to throw light on
scientific validity of the same. |
