Shukra dhatu is meant for procreation, its Kshaya (diminution) causes Male Infertility. Shukra dhatu is formed by the transformation of Aahara rasa (food) with the help of Agni (digestive fire). Aahara is one of three important sub pillars which supports life. Ksheera is Satmya (wholesome), and it is Dhatu Vardhaka (nourishes the body tissues), Rasayana (rejuvenation), Vajikarana / Vrushya (aphrodisiac), generally indicated in Shukra Doshas (sem- inal disorders). Aja Ksheera (Goat milk) attributes Laghu (light), Balya guna (Strength promotor) along with Deep- ana (kindles the digestive fire), Grahi Karma (absorptive) praised for its Sarva-Vyadi Hara (cures all ailments) and Shukrala karma (spermatogenic measure). It is easily digestible when compared to Goksheera (cow milk) and it is a good source of essential fatty acids such as linoleic, vitamin A, and trace elements like Zinc, Mg which are essen- tial factors for the production of sperm and male hormone. Formulations of Aja Ksheeera namely Chagaladya ghrutha, Tilagokshuradi yoga possess Vrushya property and are indicated in Nastashukra (diminution of semen), Shukra Nisarana, Shanda (impotency) conditions. The Guna Karma of Aja Ksheera along with its rich nutritive value supports the spermatogenesis thus it can be considered in the treatment of Shukrakshaya as Aahara as well Aushadha.Keywords: Aja Ksheera, Goat Milk, Vrushya, Spermatogenic, Aphrodisiac
