Infertility and Ayurveda – Causes, Remedies, Lifestyle & Hope for Couples
By Ayush Awasthi – Ayurvedic Student
🌸 Introduction
Aaj ke time mein, infertility (बांझपन) ek bahut hi sensitive aur emotional topic hai. Bohot saare couples shaadi ke baad naturally conceive karne ki koshish karte hain, lekin jab saal-do saal tak result nahi milta, tab unhe anxiety aur stress hone lagta hai. Personally maine apne ek dost aur ek aunty ko iss problem se struggle karte dekha hai. Unhone kaafi tests karaye, doctors ke chakkar lagaye, aur phir Ayurveda ki taraf bhi dhyaan diya. Tab mujhe realize hua ki infertility sirf ek “medical condition” nahi hai – yeh ek emotional journey bhi hai jisme patience, lifestyle aur right treatment zaruri hai.
Is blog mein main infertility ke causes, modern view aur Ayurvedic solutions ko simple tarike se explain karunga. Saath hi main aapko desi diet tips, gharelu nuskhe aur yoga batane wala hoon jo maine apne notes aur experiences se sikhe hain.
🤔 What is Infertility?
- Infertility ka matlab hai ki ek couple 1 year tak regular unprotected intercourse ke baad bhi conceive na kar paaye.
- Agar aurat ki age 35 se zyada hai to 6 months ke baad hi evaluation shuru kiya jaata hai.
Types of Infertility
- Primary infertility – Jab couple ne kabhi conceive hi nahi kiya.
- Secondary infertility – Jab pehle pregnancy hui ho, lekin ab dobara conceive na ho pa raha ho.
🔎 Causes of Infertility (Modern View)
Causes in Women:
- Ovulation disorders (PCOS, hormonal imbalance)
- Blocked fallopian tubes (due to infection, TB, endometriosis)
- Poor egg quality (age factor)
- Uterine fibroids / cysts
- Stress, obesity, thyroid imbalance
Causes in Men:
- Low sperm count
- Poor sperm motility (movement)
- Varicocele (swelling of testicular veins)
- Excess alcohol, smoking
- Hormonal imbalance, stress
👉 Note: Modern medicine mein IVF, IUI, hormonal therapy use hote hain – par yeh expensive aur emotionally draining bhi ho sakte hain. Isi wajah se bohot log Ayurveda aur holistic lifestyle ki taraf shift ho rahe hain.
🌿 Infertility in Ayurveda (Vandhyatva)
Ayurveda mein infertility ko “Vandhyatva” kaha gaya hai. Charaka Samhita aur Sushruta Samhita dono mein fertility ko beej (sperm & ovum), kshetra (uterus), ritu (fertile period) aur ambu (nutrition) se connect kiya gaya hai.
Sanskrit Shloka (Charaka)
“Beejam kshetram ritu ambu samyoge garbha samyati”
👉 Pregnancy occurs when healthy sperm (Beeja), healthy ovum & uterus (Kshetra), right fertile time (Ritu), and proper nutrition (Ambu) come together.
Agar inme se koi bhi factor disturbed ho, to conception difficult ho jaata hai.
🪷 Ayurvedic Causes of Infertility
- Beeja dosha – sperm ya ovum ki quality kharab
- Kshetra dushti – uterus mein problems (fibroids, weak lining)
- Ritu viparyaya – wrong timing, irregular ovulation
- Ahar-vihar – junk food, late nights, stress, alcohol
- Manasik karan – tension, depression, anxiety

🔍 Deeper Understanding of Infertility – Hidden Factors We Ignore
Jab hum infertility ki baat karte hain, aksar focus sirf sperm aur egg quality pe hota hai. Lekin Ayurveda ke hisaab se bahut saare hidden factors bhi conception ko affect karte hain.
1. Stress & Mental Health
Modern studies bhi kehte hain ki stress directly affects fertility hormones. Cortisol badhne se female ovulation disturb hoti hai aur males mein testosterone kam ho jaata hai.
👉 Ayurveda mein ise Manasik karan kaha gaya hai.
Personal touch: Mere ek dost ka IVF fail ho gaya tha kyunki unka stress level bahut zyada tha. Jab unhone yoga aur pranayama adopt kiya, unke reports next cycle mein better aaye.
2. Environmental Pollution
- Pesticides in food → sperm motility ko reduce karte hain.
- Plastic bottles (BPA) → hormone disruptor hai.
- Air pollution → oxidative stress badhata hai jo eggs/sperms ko damage karta hai.
Ayurveda isliye hamesha prakritik aahar aur mitti ke bartan recommend karta hai.
3. Wrong Lifestyle Habits
- Late-night sleeping
- Excess phone/laptop use at night (blue light → melatonin disturb)
- Sedentary life (no exercise)
- Junk food (viruddh aahar)
Ye sab Agni (digestive fire) ko weak karte hain → jis se Ama (toxins) body mein jama ho jaata hai → fertility organ weak ho jaate hain.
