Infertility Treatment in Ayurveda
Ayurveda described female infertility as Bandhyatva and mentioned Ritu, Kshetra, Ambu and Beeja as primary factors associated with fertility. Ritu represents time/period in which fertilization can occur by considering timing of ovulation in appropriate reproductive age. Kshetra describe seat of conception; uterus should be healthy enough to hold foetus after successful fertilization and conception. Ambu represents nourishment and blood circulation in the uterus, proper hormones for growth and development of foetus. Beej describes healthy ovum and sperm. Ayurveda has its own method of diagnosis & treatment. According to Ayurvedic classics, infertility is the inability to beget a healthy child rather than pregnancy as repeated abortions & still births are also included in types of infertility.
