Neha Balakrishna Pitla, Pradnya Ravindra Deshpande
Abstract: Principles of Ayurveda favour the well-being of each individual to lead a healthy life physically, mentally and socially. It emphasizes the importance of preventive medicine along with curative procedures to give a holistic approach towards a healthy living. The Chakras play an important role to maintain the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health of the body. The Chakras are energy centres within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to the immune system and emotions. There are six primary chakras Muladhara Chakra, Swadhishthana Chakra, Manipura Chakra, Vishuddha Chakra, Anahata Chakra and Ajna Chakra which are located along a central vertical axis at the front of the body. The Chakras are considered loci of life energy or Prana, which is thought to flow among them along pathways called Nadis. The Chakra is used to mean several different things in Sanskrit sources, of which it can be denoted to different nerve plexuses within the body. Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms off-spring are produced from their parents. Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life. Hypogastric plexus gives out branches to the male and female reproductive organs, whereas Swadhishthana Chakra plays an important role in the act of procreation. This article will emphasize on the similarities between Swadhishthana Chakra and Hypogastric plexus and the role of both in reproduction.
