Kaya Karpam Interventions for Reproductive Health: A Systematic Review of Siddha Medicine’s Approach to Infertility

Infertility is a rising global concern linked to environmental toxins, delayed parenthood, and oxidative stress. While modern interventions focus on hormonal manipulation, the Siddha system provides a holistic rejuvenative framework known as Kaya Karpam. This review evaluates the role of thirty specific Kaya Karpam interventions in managing both male and female infertility. By targeting the Seven Thathu (vital tissues) and modulating the endocrine system through bioactive phytochemicals, these interventions offer a multi-dimensional approach to reproductive health. This paper synthesizes traditional Siddha wisdom with modern pharmacological insights to provide a roadmap for integrative fertility care.
