INFERTILITY
Table of ContentsAre you prone to a problem with 'Infertility'? Find your imbalances and create a diet for your Reproductive System by taking the free reproductive health quiz: AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON INFERTILITYAyurveda places great emphasis on building fertility. Many practitioners are skilled in this area. In dealing with infertility, Ayurveda recommends both cleansing & balancing the doshas before conception. A stable routine increases reproductive health. Menstruation should be balanced, relatively pain and emotion free. Avoid tight fitting clothing for both sexes. Avoid sex too often, which will weaken the male and mask desire which increases during ovulation. Vata men should take almond milk with honey and ghee after orgasm to replenish fluids. The odds of conception increase when the female reaches orgasm.Infertility may be due to 1) Low estrogen, 2) High pregnancy or nursing hormones depressing fertility (High prolactin, progesterone, etc), 3) PCOS (high testosterone/prolactin), or 4) Issues with male sperm. Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Infertility' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKSARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
