AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON INFERTILITY

Ayurveda affirms the goodness of life and has a strength 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, and this within a few days before ovulation.

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)
  4. Issues with male sperm quantity or quality.
Children have a natural right to their biological mother and father, and to the irreplaceable affection of their biological parents. Parents must aim to satisfy this most basic and natural need of the child.

In choosing to create life, parents participate in God's creativity and desire for life, which is extraordinarily satisfying and desirable. However parents should consider the joy of the child primarily, and their own joy secondarily.

And this is, in essence, what it means to be a loving parent - to will the good of your child beyond your own. Therefore, instead of thinking about "having a child", think about a "child having you."

Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Infertility' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3

INFERTILITY IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3 - ATTACKING TISSUE

If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.

AVOID DIETS, LIFESTYLES & HERBS THAT AGGRAVATE THESE EFFECTS

According to Ayurveda, one or more of the following doshas and biocharacteristics may aggravate 'Infertility'. If you have an excess of one of these doshas or biocharacteristics below, Ayurveda recommends reducing foods and lifestyle habits that aggravate them. Click on the biocharacteristic to learn what foods and lifestyle habits should be reduced.

Symptoms Tell A Story

The first step to healing is learning patterns from your symptoms. Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances. Symptoms show you where your body is weakened. Ultimately, all disease has a root in tissues too weak to defend itself. Ayurveda describes these patterns of weakness using doshas & biocharacteristics. If you notice a biocharacteristic or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms, it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE 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 biocharacteristics (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.
