Herbal oral contraceptives become need of time because of serious adverse effects produced by synthetic oral contraceptives. This forces us to investigate and identify the plants having antifertility activity. A detailed survey was carried out by the authors to collect information on both reported and unreported medicinal plants of this region. Further research on modern scientific line is necessary to improvise their efficacy, safety and validation of the traditional knowledge.Key words: Madhya Pradesh, oral contraceptives, herbal medicine, growth rate, antifertility activity.
