African Scurf Pea (Psoralea corylifolia), also known as Babchi, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In these traditions, it is believed to support male reproductive health, particularly in cases of low libido, impotence, and infertility. The seeds and extracts have been used for their purported aphrodisiac properties and to promote vitality and virility in men.

The rationale for its use is largely based on traditional herbal pharmacopoeias, which describe Babchi as a tonic for male reproductive organs. Some practitioners of TCM and Ayurveda claim that it can improve sperm quality and increase sexual stamina, but these assertions are rooted in centuries-old practice rather than rigorous scientific evaluation.

Scientific studies examining the effects of Psoralea corylifolia on male fertility or reproductive health are limited and not definitive. While some laboratory studies suggest that certain compounds in the plant may have antioxidant or hormonal effects, there is insufficient clinical evidence from human trials to substantiate these traditional claims. As such, its use for supporting the male reproductive system is primarily justified by traditional knowledge, with minimal scientific validation to date.
