Being a mother is nature’s best gift to woman. But unfortunately, when a woman is not able to conceive, she feels like cursed. Reasons can be many.
Infertility means when a woman is unable to conceive after one year of regular sexual intercourse without using any kind of contraceptive. It possesses negative effect on the female psychology. It disturbs the physical, mental and social environment of the couple as well.
But when the cause is non-specific and unexplained, Ayurveda considers it as inertia or weakness of the uterus. According to Ayurveda, if the nourishment to reproductive tissue is impaired, then also infertility arises. Poor nutrition to tissues can arise due to impaired digestion and blocked micro-circulatory channels.
Ayurvedacharayas understood the pain of being infertile and that is why a broad description and treatment is mentioned in ancient text regarding the condition. Various herbs and preparations are mentioned in ayurvedic texts to tone up the musculature of uterus, making it healthy and prepare its flora suitable for conception so as to tackle any kind of infection.
For pregnancy to happen or to have healthy child one should focus on ovum, sperm, uterus and nourishment. Ovum and sperm should be healthy enough to unite together and uterus should be healthy enough to hold the fetus. This can be achieved with proper nourishment of the body with balanced diet and consuming herbs or supplements which nourishes the shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue) of the body. Various herbs are mentioned in Ayurveda which can nourish the shukra dhatu are ashwagandha, shatavari and kaunch beej. These herbs surely improve the quality and quantity of reproductive fluid.
Reproductive fluids like semen and ovum are formed by long chain of metabolic transformations beginning from the digestion of food. Food is first converted into rasa dhatu. Then, further chain continues.
Ras--> rakta (blood)-> mansa (muscles)-->meda (fat)-->asthi (bones)-->majja (bone marrow)-->shukra (Reproductive tissue)
In this chain, ultimately the shukra dhatu is formed. Whatever we consume and metabolic fire of body affects the formation of shukra. We should also improve the metabolism at cellular level to provide proper nutrition to reproductive system of body.
Ayurveda mentions preparations of ashoka, lodhra, yograj, supari, mochras, aarogyavardhini, gokshuradi guggul, kanchnaaar guggul for strengthening uterus and making it viable for pregnancy.
