What is Infertility?
Infertility has become a growing cause of concern and one of the most common issues found in majority of couples. To put in simple terms, infertility is a biological condition when a person is not able to conceive a child naturally despite of trying with regular unprotected sexual intercourse for 1 year. This can be a problem with females as well as males who might face such issue due to various reasons. Although the some of the main causes of infertility can be stress, tension, food or dietary habits or certain lifestyle habits, it may also be due to inadequate or fluctuating level of hormones in both men or women or it can be trouble to ovulate in women for many other reasons as well.
We at Sparsh Ayurvedic clinic, our aim is to provide the best female and male fertility ayurvedic treatment to overcome infertility issues.
Stages of Pregnancy:
Before going forward to the causes of infertility in men and women, it is essential to understand what are the steps that leads to conception i.e. getting pregnant.
- Ovulation: To ovulate, a woman must release an egg from any of her ovaries
- Fertilisation: A male must release sperm that needs to mix with the egg
- Implantation: Once fertilised, the egg must get attached to the inside of the uterus
What causes Infertility in Women?
Infertility in females is mostly caused by problems with ovulation. Ovulation problems happen when a woman is not ovulating normally or having irregular or no menstrual cycles. It is caused due to many factors some of the major ones are:
- PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disorder)

- Lifestyle Disorders
- Stress Factor like Depression

Panchakarma is an age-old tradition that has been practiced in Ayurveda and is very effective in treatment of infertility with proven results. The Panchakarma is a step-by-step detoxification process that includes Shaman, Shodhan, Rasayan and Vajikaran to all married couples planning to have a child. These treatments are coupled with diet that focuses on infertility and forming a healthy body and mind according to the patients dosha as diagnosed.
Ayurvedic Panchakarma Purification Process to treat Infertility in Men and Women:
Uttarbasti (Vasti): Uttarbasti is one of the most effective treatment for treating gynaecological disorders in females. In this procedure, a specially prepared sterile ayurvedic oil is injected into the uterine cavity of the females transvaginal. It is completely safe and painless treatment that is repeated for 3 to 5 consecutive cycles. It helps to improve follicular maturity and endometrium. In case of males with infertility issues, a sterile ayurvedic medicine is passed through the urinary tract to stimulate the process of healthy sperm formation.
Shirodhara: Shirodhara is a relaxation technique in which a steam of warm oil is held over a patient’s forehead over a long period of time. It works primarily on the mental health or ‘Menova Srotus’ as known in Ayurveda. Shirodhara is traditionally used to calm the nerves, harmonise vata imbalance, purify the mind as stress is often found to be the major cause of infertility in both men and women.
Basti: In Basti procedure, enema of medicated oil or decoction is given to the patient through rectum. Basti releases obstructions in the way of Vata dosha and regulates it. The mixture is made with different types of medicated oil, Ghruta or ghee, milk and other ingredients which improves the quality and sperm count of Shukra Dhatu (Semen) in males and Aartava (Ovum) in females thereby controlling the reproductive system.
Vaman: Vaman is a cleansing procedure mainly intended to balance the expulsion of affected ‘Kapha’. It is drug induced emetic procedure that is painless and carried out in Vasant ritu i.e. from February to April. This purification process detoxifies all internal toxins and regularises the hormones including the thyroid gland. It also acts as a stimulant to normalise insulin level thereby decreasing PCOD.
Virechan: Virechan process helps to eliminate body toxins like elevated Pitta. During this, ayurvedic drugs are used to stimulate bowel movement that result in expulsion of doshas through the rectum. Also balances hormone system.
