“…Previously a study has been done by another researcher group, using a combination of Ricinus communis, Abrus precatorius and Syzygium aromaticum on the reproductive system of male Swiss albino mice. Where Bhakta et al, (2019) has shown that the gross weight, width and length of testes was reduced in case of the treated mice compared to the control one. Moreover microscopically, changes in a single focus of the herbal extract treated testis showed that the number of the seminiferous tubules decreased in the treated group mice compared to the control (Bhakta et al, 2019).…”

“…In this experiment a total of 4.4 mg/ kg Body weight of the combined herbal extract was fed per mice for the treatment purpose. In this case also it could be a dose dependent effect of the herbal extracts on the testes of male mice, which could be recovered by reducing the dose to be treated with (Bhakta et al, 2019).…”

Syzygium aromaticum commonly known as Clove is considered to be the most precious spice among others, which has been continued to be utilized for centuries for different biological and therapeutic purposes. It is a tropical tree which belongs to the Myrtaceae family and natively originated from Indonesia. However, in current times it is found in a few other places of the world including Brazil. Clove is viewed as perhaps the most extravagant source of phenolic mixes, for example, eugenol, eugenol acetic acid derivatives and so on. These mixtures have incredible potential for restorative, organic and other rural applications. In this review we have tried to figure out some of the important medicinal or therapeutic as well as phytobiotic and agricultural utilizations of the products prepared from Clove. We have tried to give an extra emphasis on the application of clove as a product of herbal contraception however for this purpose dose of the extract (either aqueous or ethanolic) of clove plays the vital role in this case. Although for establishing or making clove products commercially available as a safe product for herbal contraception or other medicinal impacts, more studies are required, and it could open a new era in the field of herbal medicine that would be much safer and feasible.

Abrus precatorius L., belonging to the family of Fabaceae is one of the potential herbal plants to be used as natural medicine. A. precatorius is capable of growing in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. The leaves of A. precatorius contain pinitol, triterpene glycosides, glycyrrhizin, and alkaloids. The leaves of A. precatorius can also treat leukoderma, skin diseases, itching, eye pain, and wounds. The seeds of A. precatorius contain flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, anthocyanins, lectins, and fixed oils and can treat skin diseases, ulcers, and nervous system disorders. The roots of A. precatorius contain glycyrrhizin and alkaloid compounds and are able to treat rheumatism, alexiteric, sore throat, and vomiting. A. precatorius shows several therapeutic activities such as antimicrobial, anti-helminthics, antimalarial, antifungal, nephroprotective, immunomodulatory, neuromuscular, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antifertility, antiserotonergic, antidiarrheal, antitumor, antispasmodic, and memory enhancing properties. Inappropriate dose of A. precatorius will cause toxic effects. Thus A. precatorius can be a good potential herbal plant to be used as a natural medicine. Keywords: Abrus precatorius, Fabaceae, Medicine, Pharmacology, Phytochemistry.

The population explosion is a global problem that poses significant threat to the quality of life, more particularly in the underdeveloped and developing countries [1]. The extraordinary growth of the world population stands as one of the significant events of the modern era to think over. The current world population is around 6.46 billion and that of India is around 1.1 billion. The United Nations 'medium' projection has predicted that world population, which crossed the five billion mark in 1987, will increase to 10 billion by the year 2050 [2]. One of the critical problems of the developing countries like India is its geometrical increase in human population. Today we understand that our sheer numbers have increased so much that they are straining Earth's capacity to supply food, energy and raw materials. Advances in medicine and public health have led to a significant decrease in mortality and an increased life expectancy. This population explosion will have negative impact on our economic policies and would simultaneously misbalance our socio-economic infrastructure. Thus, the control of human fertility in the sense of its limitation is the most important and urgent of all-biosocial and medical problem confronting mankind today [3].Approximately 49 percent of pregnancies in the United States are unintended. One cost analysis found that compared with pregnancy and abortion, contraception saves an estimated $9,000 to $14,000 per woman of childbearing age over a five-year period. Although Male or female condoms used correctly and consistently is the only available method shown to be effective in preventing both unwanted pregnancies and ST/HIV infections, women often have little power to negotiate the use of condoms with their partners and are unable to protect themselves from nonconsensual coercive sex. Further Female condoms are expensive and are not readily available in developing countries. Contraception is literally the prevention of conception, but generally is taken to mean the prevention of pregnancy [4]. Further, Overpopulation, particularly in developing countries, is complicated by the pandemic of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. The high incidence of these infections is owing to heterosexual intercourse, and the infections spread more readily from men to women than from women to men [4] New HIV infections
