Vajikarana Dravyas (Drugs)
and Their Classification
By  Dr Amit Kumar Yadav

The Vajikarana dravyas are divided into the following three groups:

1) Dehabalakara – Promoting physical strength, including that of semen.
2) Manobalakara – Enhancing mental powers needed to sustain long sexual acts.
3) Deh-manobalakara – Acts both ways.

Further classification of vajikarana dravyas is based on their action on semen:

1) Sukra vrddhikara – increasing semen.
2) Sukra srutikara – prompting the discharge of semen.
3) Sukrastambhan – delaying the discharge of semen.

USING VAJIKARANA DRUGS

The ideal way to use vajikarana drugs is after gastric-cleansing. This is normally done after inducing virechanas or gastric purgatives. Although this procedure doesn’t apply in all cases, an Ayurvedic doctors advice should still be sought before using any vajikarana therapies.
