Infertility-Holistic Ayurveda Approach: A Case Study

Abstract

It is a blessing that allows for the passage of genes from one generation to the next, promoting evolution. A couple's ability to procreate or their current state of fertility is referred to as fertility. Due to the fact that a successful pregnancy is a series of interconnected occurrences, even if one of the events or conditions is not completed in the allotted length of time, the pregnancy may not proceed or give rise to a child. Vandhyatva (infertility) not only endangers a couple's bodily health but also negatively affects their psychological and social well-being. Infertility can result in severe emotional stress. A wide variety of therapy options are given in Ayurveda Samhithas. Ritu, Kshetra, Ambu, and Beeja are the four primary causes of infertility identified by Shamana and Shodhan Chikitsa. Because it assists in balancing Doshas and Dushyas, panchkarma has the highest effectiveness. Additionally prescribed for infertility, Uttarbasti with Yog basti (Dashmoola tail-kwath) aids in the cleansing of the reproductive system, balances Vata Dosha, and ultimately aids in the retention of Garbha. In this case report, the significance of Sodhan Chikitsa before Shaman Chikitsa in cases of infertility is stressed.
