Ayurvedacharya Vipul Khira says Ayurveda recommends the use of certain herbs, foods, and seeds to treat infertility. These are usually different for men and women
Ayurveda lays down certain principles and methods for the treatment of infertility. Infertility also includes couples who can conceive but due to repeated miscarriages, the woman is unable to carry the pregnancy to full term. On an average, as many as one out of 10 couples cannot conceive. On a social level, infertility in one of the partners attracts social stigma and taboos. Treatment for men: Both men and women have an equal role to play in childbirth. The concept of male Infertility in Ayurveda centres around abnormalities in sperm, deficiency in seminal fluid, defect in penile function such as in erection or ejaculation, senility or old age. A man could be unable to conceive because of urinary diseases. A number of medications are advised. Certain herbs are administered such as jeevaka, kakoli, shatavari aand ashwagandha to correct these conditions. Kokilaksha and vidarikanda are prescribed to increase the quantity of seminal fluid. Foods such as rice, wheat, milk, ghee, eggs, black gram, almonds and mutton soup are useful. Special herbs for women: Female infertility in Ayurveda has been described as a tubal block, pelvic Inflammatory disease, salpingitis, obesity, uterine fibroids and vaginitis. For women, herbs like iodhra, ashoka shatavari, and aloe vera are useful and improve fertility by regulating hormonal levels. Purification therapy is also useful for both partners and improves chances of conception. When the woman’s uterus is not defective and the man’s semen is full of active spermatozoa, then apamarg roots ground with milk are prescribed for the woman. Ashwagandha is roasted with cow’s butter and boiled with milk and sugar and can be had by the woman on certain days following the menstrual cycle.
