Introduction

Infertility is a serious problem affecting the emotional health and well-being of many couples. Ayurveda provides natural and holistic remedies in addressing the issue of infertility. The ayurvedic treatment for infertility aims at balancing body doshas, improving general health, and creating conditions that permit conception to take place. This article examines the ayurvedic view on infertility; what causes it and how to increase fertility naturally.

What is Infertility?

Failure in conceiving despite one year of unprotected intercourse defines infertility. It can affect both men and women due to different reasons. Infertility can be primary if a couple has never conceived or secondary when they have already conceived before but are currently unable to do it again. According to Ayurveda, infertility is typically linked with imbalances in the normal elements (doshas) of our bodies.

Symptoms of Infertility

  • Changes in menstrual cycles from month to month.
  • Periods that are painful.
  • Imbalance in hormones.
  • Spermatozoa count decreases below average.
  • Inadequate erection during sexual contact.
  • Causes of Infertility According to Ayurveda

Ayurveda sets forth various causes of infertility by emphasising the need for dealing with root imbalances as well as restoring harmony within our bodies. Some major reasons include:

Doshas imbalance

Vata Dosha:Being responsible for movement and flow throughout the body, an uneven Vata might disrupt reproduction processes resulting into such problems like sporadic menstruation, hormonal imbalances as well as difficulties during ovulation.

Pitta Dosha:Controlling the metabolism and transformation process; excessive production of Pitta Dosha may lead to inflammations, infections and other reproductive system disorders.

Kapha Dosha:Linked with structure as well as coherence; deviations within Kapha may cause obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) among other issues related to fertility.

Poor Digestive Health

Agni (Digestive Fire):Poor digestion and expulsion can hamper the proper assimilation of nutrients required for fertility. A weak digestive fire will lead to toxins (Ama) building up in the body affecting reproduction.

Stress and Emotional FactorsMind-Body Connection: Ayurveda stresses on the close relationship between body and mind where stress, anxiety or emotional disturbances could affect reproductive health hence infertility.

Lifestyle and Dietary FactorsUnhealthy Lifestyle: Sedentary habits, poor dietary choices, exposure to toxins are factors that may lead to infertility. Ayurveda recommends living a balanced lifestyle and having a diet that is healthy for reproduction.
