Infertility has emerged as a common problem as a result of the modern-day lifestyle. Extremely hectic schedules, stress, burnout, depression, and unhealthy diets can contribute to fertility issues. As per a study published by Pharmion, around 30 million Indian couples were estimated to suffering from lifetime infertility, in 2015. Also, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) fell to 2.3% in 2013 against 3.9% in 1990.

Best Ayurvedic Treatment for Infertility in Males & Females

Couples often seek help with methods such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization (IVF), but the problem can be solved in natural ways too. Sometimes, the root cause of infertility is simply irregular functioning or blockages in the body systems. The basic principle of Ayurveda is to get the body functioning to its optimum capacity and this is often all that is needed to treat diseases.

Ayurvedic Medicine for Fertility in Female & Male

Using Ayurveda techniques to improve your fertility helps you to reduce any chance of further complications arising due to the side effects of synthetic medication. Ayurveda helps you to increase your fertility by suggesting various lifestyle changes.

Ayurveda also suggests several foods and herbal supplements that can optimize the functioning of the body systems and boost your fertility as well.

  1. Phal Ghrit: The ayurvedic medicine is made by combining a number of herbs and it is taken with warm milk. It has been developed especially to treat infertility by controlling the level of hormones secreted in the body. It cannot remedy structural problems, but it can effectively treat functional disorders in the reproductive system.
  2. Shatavari (Asparagus): This ayurvedic remedy is used to treat female infertility by regulating the cycles of menstruation and ovulation.
  3. Triphala Churna: A combination of three different fruits - baheda, amla and haritaki, this medicine helps to cleanse the body of toxins, strengthens the immune system and clears blockages in the fallopian tubes.
  4. Ashwagandha Churna (Indian ginseng): The ayurvedic medicine is used to treat male infertility in males by naturally increasing the production of sperm in the system.
  5. Banyan tree bark: The use of dried banyan tree bark powder is recommended by several Ayurvedic physicians for treating infertility problems in females. Remember to add sugar to the banyan bark powder before consuming it.
  6. LodhraThis ayurvedic herb is very beneficial in treating women with infertility. It stimulates FSH and luteinising hormones (LH) and lowers the risk of a miscarriage. It also increases the chances of conception. Lodhra should be taken twice a day along with honey and milk.

Ayurvedic Therapies Cure Infertility Problem

  1. Vamanam: In this ayurvedic treatment procedure, medicated oil is swallowed to induce vomiting, which expels all the contaminating elements in the body. This process can be done regularly depending upon the overall health of the patient and also helps to combat digestive and psychological conditions.
  2. Swedanam: This ayurvedic therapy is usually done before other Ayurvedic therapies to prepare the body systems. For patients of infertility, the patient is made to sweat excessively. This also flushes the most nitrous compounds out of the body.
  3. Dhatu Nirman Karma: The cells of the body are made to metabolize, absorb, and assimilate nutrients leading to the formation of healthy cells and the destruction of the unhealthy ones. This is turn rejuvenates the organs. Usually, this ayurvedic therapy is helpful for female infertility.
  4. Shirodhara Therapy: Shirodhara involves the movement of liquid over the forehead in a rhythmic manner at specific points. This stimulates the hypothalamus, pituitary, and pineal glands and aids in the secretion of hormones including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). When it comes to women, FSH stimulates the ovarian follicles into releasing an egg without which it would be impossible to conceive a child.

Balanced Diet to Treat Infertility Problem

According to Ayurveda health experts, a well-balanced diet which consists of organic fruits and vegetables, a large number of dairy products, soaked almonds or walnuts, raisins, and other dry fruits or whole grains help to boost your fertility to a great extent by improving the production of sperm cells in males and the egg cells in females.

Apart from that consuming broccoli, asparagus or milk boosts and strengthens your reproductive tissues. Using spices like turmeric or cumin in your daily diet helps to clean the genital tracts in both males and females and also enhances the functions of the reproductive hormones.
