It is extremely important to understand that, in Ayurveda, Sexual intercourse is considered for the purpose of reproduction. Therefore, this branch of Ayurveda is developed to correct the imbalances in the factors responsible for reproduction and developing healthy progeny. This specialty also deals with diseases of infertility resulting from unhealthy Shukra. It is not intended for enhancing only the carnal pleasures like it is misinterpreted many times. Detail description of Vajikarana is found in Vajikarana chapter of Charaka Samhita <ref>Charaka Samhita ([http://www.carakasamhitaonline.com/mediawiki-1.28.2/index.php?title=Vajikarana Chikitsasthanam, Vajikarana Pada, Adhyaya 1]) </ref> and other authoritative texts in Ayurveda.

In this way, Ayurveda offers knowledge of methods to maintain the health and well-being of all the individuals under these 8 branches. Its knowledge is not limited to medicine, cure or therapy but to all the aspects of one's life. Moreover, the knowledge is for all parts of the community since it can be tailored to their needs. In modern times, the influence of biomedicine on Ayurveda is leading to its medicalisation. The current over medicalisation of society is a potential threat to human health and well-being. Ayurveda can provide essential teachings and practices to counter-balance this current trend through encouraging population's self-reliance in its health. And for that, the practice of Ayurveda needs to be applied at individual, community and health care provider levels and not be limited to the medical system.<ref>Mathpati MM, et al., Ayurveda and medicalisation today: The loss of important knowledge and practice in
