Abstract : This comprehensive review aims to evaluate the efficacy of Sufoof-e-Tukhme Tamarhindi (Tamarindus indicus) in the management of Jiryan-e-Mani (Spermatorrhea), a condition characterized by involuntary seminal discharge. Tamarindus Indicus, commonly known as tamarind, has been historically utilized in various traditional medicine systems for its wide-ranging therapeutic benefits, including its potential role in managing reproductive health issues. The review consolidates existing research and traditional knowledge surrounding the pharmacological properties of tamarind seeds, focusing on their potential to regulate seminal fluid production and alleviate symptoms of spermatorrhea. Through an exploration of its bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and antioxidants, the review highlights how tamarind may exert a calming effect on the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and improve overall male reproductive function. Furthermore, the review examines clinical and preclinical studies, along with anecdotal evidence, to provide insights into the mechanisms of action, dosage recommendations, and safety profile of tamarind seed powder (Sufoof-e-Tukhme Tamarhindi) in the treatment of Jiryan-e-Mani. In conclusion, while preliminary evidence suggests a promising role for tamarind seed powder in the management of spermatorrhea, further clinical studies are necessary to substantiate its therapeutic efficacy and establish standardized treatment protocols. This review emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach in integrating traditional remedies with modern medical practices to improve patient care in male reproductive health.
