Ayurveda has always been known to reach the root causes of a problem and healing a person’s core functionalities to ensure that the problem is unrooted for good. Ayurvedic treatments for infertility have also be recognized and more effective than allopathic medicines in some studies. However, to understand how ancient Ayurveda treats infertility, we must first understand its causes from the Ayurvedic perspective.
Causes Of infertility As Per Ayurvedic Sciences: According to the ayurvedic science of biology, there are three fundamental energies or ‘doshas’ which govern our bodies’ physiological and mental functionalities:
- Vata Dosha: composed of space and air elements, it governs the reproductive system of our body
- Pitta Dosha: composed of fire and water elements, it governs the digestive system of our body
- Kapha Dosha: composed of earth and water elements; it governs the physical form, structure, and smooth functioning of our body.
Every individual’s body is dominated by one of the doshas and balanced with the other two doshas to enable the healthy functioning of the body. Any imbalance caused in the composition of these doshas primarily leads to physical and immunological disorders like infertility. Ayurveda has also recognized various factors and habits as the cause of infertility, such as:
- Sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle
- Regularly eating unhealthy, spicy, oily, junk food, etc.
- Excess heat in the body
- Performing excessive sexual activities
- Severe stress, anxiety, fear, or trauma
- Genetically inherited factors
