Ayurvedic concept
Ayurveda supports health by strengthening the body's self-healing and balancing mechanisms and doesn't rely on intervention by any outside or foreign substance to replace or correct the hormones in the body. It focuses on the treatment of infertility holistically to improve the overall health and quality of life of the individual.
Agni deepana and Ama pachana
Ama formation (toxins created when undigested food forms in the stomach) by the imbalance in Agni (the power of digestion) leads to many diseases. Therefore, the treatment of Ama must always include the treatment of Agni, including the use of digestive and carminative Ayurvedic formulations, and eating meals at a proper time following an appropriate schedule. Ayurveda Panchakarma treatments help to eliminate Ama thus correcting Agni. Healthy Agni will also contribute to healthy Ojas.
Vatanulomana
The main dosha involved in infertility is Vata. So Vatanulomana (correcting the functions of Vata) is very important in the treatment of infertility. Ayurvedic formulations, following routine exercises and a strict diet schedule, will help in Vatanulomana.

Sodhana
Suitable sneha-swedes are done before sodhana. Then treatment modalities like Vamana (emesis), Virechana (purgation), Vasti (medicated enema) and Utharavasti special enema administered through urethral or vaginal routes) are done as per the condition of the patient. The patient has to follow peyadi krama (strict dietary regimen to be followed after Sodhana). This detoxification therapy helps in the expulsion of toxins from the body. These therapies help to correct ovarian, tubular and uterine problems causing infertility. - Ayurveda treatments help in releasing tension and removing impurities from the body. They nourish the body, revitalize the mind and strengthen the immune system. They are beneficial in reducing stress, nourishing all dhatus of the body and pacifying Vata.
Dietary management
- Diet plays a vital role in the prevention and cure of diseases and in the maintenance of good health. "Annam Brahmam" - Food has been compared to God, in the ancient Indian scriptures since it is the main factor for sustaining and nourishing life.
- Dietary management involves strict compliance and adherence to foods that increase Ojus (an intersection factor of the physical, mental and spiritual health of the body, responsible for overall health, energy and liveliness) and avoiding the substances that diminish the Ojas.
- This is important to regulate ovulation and enhance fertilization. Eating whole foods provides all nutrients for the health of the body in addition to the fibres that influence hormonal levels of the body. Foods such as processed carbohydrates, excess starch, antibiotic and hormone-laden meat and milk and canned produce destroy fertility.
- Ojas building food include milk, ghee, nuts, sesame seeds, dates, pumpkin seeds, honey, saffron and avocados, fresh organic fruits and vegetables, protein from plant sources like beans, and peas, sweet, whole grains, spices such as ajwain powder, turmeric (improves the interaction between hormones and targeted tissues), cumin (purifies the uterus in women and the genitourinary tract in men) and black cumin boost fertility.
- Diet should be free from Trans-fats as they block arteries, threaten fertility and harm the heart and blood vessels and therefore, must be avoided. Foods containing preservatives and other chemicals, like artificial sweeteners, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), diets high in fat and other artificial flavouring and colouring, excess alcohol and caffeine, tobacco, soda, smoking, red meat, refined carbohydrates, such as pasta, white bread, rice etc can exacerbate the problem of infertility.
