All five ''Gana'' (''Shukrajanana, Jeevaniya, Brimhaniya, Balya'' and ''Kshira Samjanana'') as mentioned  in [[Sutra Sthana]] 4th chapter are used in [[Vajikarana]]. The drugs mentioned in these ''gana'' are mainly ''madhura, sheeta, mridu'' in nature and so by similarity in properties, they increase sperm quality. For example, ''meda'' is included in ''jeevaniya'' and ''shukrajanana gana''; ''payasya'' in ''brimhaniya'' and ''balya''; ''jeevanti'' in ''jeevaniya''; ''shali'' and ''shashtika'' in ''stanyajanana''. These drugs may act on higher center of the brain, i.e. the hypothalamus and limbic system. This may have anti-stress, adaptogenic actions, which helps to alleviate anxiety associated with sexual desire and performance. Administration of ''vajikarana rasayana'' viz. C. orchioides, A. longifolia and M. pruriens ethanolic extracts modulates the level of the pituitary hormones FSH and LH.

==== Current ''vajikarana'' formulations ====

Experienced ayurvedic physicians create vagikarna formulations based upon the properties of individual dravya and needs of the individual. Identification of some drugs mentioned in the text is controversial. Some drugs are endangered species. So, practically it is not possible to prepare some formulations with same ingredients, but Pratinidhi or Abhava drugs can be used in place of such drugs.
