One of the growing health concerns of our time is female infertility. Across the world, more and more women are struggling to conceive naturally.
1. What is Infertility in Women?
Infertility means the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse.
It affects about 1 in 6 couples globally, and the number is rising every year.
Ayurveda refers to infertility as Vandhyatva.
It’s not just a disease — it’s a result of imbalance in body, mind, and lifestyle.
2. Conception requires:
- Healthy ovum (Artava)
- Healthy sperm (Shukra)
- Proper uterus (Garbhashaya)
- Balanced doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
- Peaceful mind and emotional well-being
3. Common Causes & Why It’s Rising
Modern lifestyle plays a big role.
1 Hormonal imbalance – due to stress, poor diet, irregular sleep
2 PCOS & Thyroid disorders – among the most common reasons today
3 Late marriages & delayed pregnancies – fertility declines after age 30
4 Obesity or being underweight – disturbs ovulation
5 Excessive use of hormonal pills, IUDs, or chemical cosmetics – affects reproductive hormones
6 Emotional stress & anxiety – Ayurveda calls this Manas dosha
7 Environmental toxins, plastics, junk food, alcohol, smoking
Ayurveda explains this as Agnimandya (weak digestion and metabolism) and Aam formation (toxins), which block reproductive channels — Artavavaha srotas dushti.
4. Ayurveda’s Holistic Approach to Infertility
Ayurveda doesn’t just target conception — it prepares the body for motherhood.
1 Detoxification – Panchakarma
Removes Aam (toxins) and clears channels.
Key therapies:
- Virechana (detox purgation) for hormonal cleansing
- Basti (medicated enema) – especially Uttar Basti for uterine health
- Abhyanga & Swedana – improves circulation, reduces stress
2 Rasayana (Rejuvenation) Therapy
Nourishes reproductive tissue (Shukra dhatu).
3. Herbal medicines like shatawari, ashwagandha etc.
