Understanding Infertility
Infertility is a condition that refers to the inability to conceive after a year of regular and unprotected intercourse. It also refers to the inability to carry the pregnancy to term. Infertility, in today’s time, is affecting several couples worldwide. In addition to physical stress, infertility can also be emotionally challenging for individuals and couples.
Factors That Can Contribute to Infertility
- Physiological factors
Certain conditions, like endometriosis, can contribute to infertility. Further structural abnormalities in reproductive organs, ovulation issues in women, and sperm production issues in men can also lead to infertility.
- Hormonal imbalance
Imbalanced hormones can lead to infertility issues in both men and women.
- Environmental factors
Constant exposure to environmental pollutants, toxins, certain chemicals, etc. can contribute to the condition of infertility.
- Poor lifestyle
Unhealthy food habits, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, and hyper-stress are known to affect fertility negatively.
- Age
Fertility tends to decline with age, especially in women. The quality and quantity of eggs decrease as a woman grows older.
At our Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatment Centre, we recognise the gravity of this condition and offer comprehensive solutions rooted in Ayurveda for treating infertility. Our Panchakarma treatment for infertility is customised as per the individual’s overall health condition and specific fertility concerns.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Infertility
Ayurveda tackles the root cause of the infertility issue while promoting one’s overall well-being and health. Here is how Ayurveda helps with infertility:
- Balancing doshas
Ayurvedic treatments identify and correct the dosha imbalance through herbal remedies, lifestyle modifications, and Panchakarma therapy. This helps treat infertility completely.
- Hormonal regulation
With the help of Ayurvedic therapies and herbs, it is possible to regulate the hormones naturally, which, in turn, leads to improved fertility.
- Stress reduction
Stress is one of the primary reasons for infertility in men and women. With the help of Ayurvedic herbs and mind-body treatments, it is possible to treat stress-related infertility.
- Detoxification
The Panchakarma treatment for improving fertility helps remove accumulated toxins from an individual’s body, clear blockages in the reproductive system, and restore balance.
Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatment for Infertility
Ayurveda works holistically and aims to address the root causes of a condition or disease. The same applies to the Ayurvedic treatment for infertility. Panchakarma, as the name suggests, refers to the set of five detoxification actions and rejuvenation therapies. This therapy primarily works on balancing the doshas in the body (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha).
- Virechana (Purgation therapy)
This procedure helps clean the digestive tract, liver, and gallbladder. Virechana detoxifies the body by removing excess Pitta dosha. Balanced Pitta dosha helps enhance the absorption of nutrients in the body, which improves reproductive health.
- Basti (Enema therapy)
Basti therapy involves the use of herbal enemas to nourish, lubricate, and rejuvenate the body. In this Panchakarma therapy procedure, the focus is on balancing the Vata dosha and treating hormonal imbalance.
- Swedana (Herbal Steam therapy)
Swedana increases the effectiveness of the above-mentioned Panchakarma procedures. An important procedure under Panchakarma treatment for infertility, Swedana involves the use of herbal steam that promotes detoxification and overall relaxation. This helps with stress-related infertility and opens the trapped and blocked channels in the body.
- Abhyanga (Therapeutic massage)
Abhyanga is a part of the Panchakarma treatment for infertility. In this massage procedure, herbal oils are used to improve blood circulation, balance doshas, and promote relaxation. This gentle and nourishing massage technique supports reproductive health by improving the blood flow to the pelvic region.
At our Ayurvedic Panchakarma Centre, we combine both Panchakarma therapy and lifestyle modifications. This helps patients get better results.
Shaman Chikitsa
The Ayurvedic treatment for infertility also includes Shaman Chikitsa, which involves the use of Ayurvedic herbs. These natural herbs are safe and effective and have no side effects.
- Shatavari
Shatavari is known to balance hormones in both males and females. Shatavari is highly effective in supporting monthly cycles in females and the overall reproductive system.
- Jivanti
Jivanti is a wonderful herb that helps balance all the three doshas in the body. This is very helpful in treating fertility issues.
- Shilajit
From improving egg quality to regulating hormones, Shilajit is a powerful herb that helps treat infertility effectively.
- Ashoka
Ashoka, known to stimulate ovarian function and strengthen the uterus, is widely used in the Ayurvedic treatment for infertility.
- Lodhra
Females suffering from inflammation of the uterus and an irregular menstrual cycle can benefit from Lodhra. The herb helps regulate hormones and improve fertility.
