These herbs can be taken in the form of fennel, cumin, fenugreek, and cardamom, which can greatly contribute to the nourishment of shukra dhatu (reproductive tissues).

Healthy Elimination: The importance of intestinal health depends upon the strength of the digestive fire (agni) and on the elimination of toxins.
