Gold Preparation Swarna Bhasma in the management of male infertility:
Gold preparation fertility is an existential necessity and has assumed immense importance since time immemorial. Infertility, on the other hand, severely affects couples psychologically, sexually, and socially.
Ayurveda realized these problems thousands of years back and has been mentioning a separate branch of Vajikarana, which deals with the promotion of sexual health, good progeny, and management of disorders caused by Shukra. Many single and combine herbal, mineral, and herbal-mineral drugs have been described for this purpose.
In Ayurveda, the role of gold in Vajikarana preparations is well known and it is in medical practice since the Vedic period. Gold is first purified by the process of sadhana and thereafter it is reduced to ash known as Bhasma by the process of Marana. Swarna Bhasma thus prepared is considered safe for therapeutic use.
