Population explosion is leading cause of poverty and pollution in developing countries. There are several medicinal plants associated with antifertility properties. Fertility regulation with plants or plant preparations has been reported in the ancient literature of indigenous systems of medicine. A large number of plant species with antiA±fertility effects have been screened in China and India beginning about 50 years ago and were subsequently fortified by national and international agencies. Herbal contraceptives are a category of herbs that have an anti-fertility effect. There are many different ways in which herbs can impair fertility.
