The science behind conception

According to Ayurveda, conception depends on three important factors viz. the health of the sperm, the ovum and the uterus. For both men and women, their reproductive health depends on the Shukra Dhathuor the reproductive tissue present in the body. Proper metabolism along with effective digestion helps the body in deriving the nutrients from food to body fluid, blood, muscle, fat, bone, bone marrow and finally into the Shukra tissue. In women, the Shukra tissue produces the ovum as part of the monthly cycle and it is formed in men due to sexual stimulation. The health of the Shukra Dhatu depends on the health of the tissues in the body and the overall metabolism of the individual. 

What prevents a smooth conception

There are several physiological, psychological and environmental factors which affect fertility in both men and women. According to the ancient Ayurvedic principles here a few reasons that affect fertility: 

 Health of the reproductive organs

Lack of emotional connect

Irregular diet

Limiting sexual urges

Controlling sexual urges for long periods of time leads to veeryaavarodha which means the obstruction of the normal flow of semen which may lead to decreased libido. 

Infection or trauma

There is also a chance that Infertility can arise when the reproductive tissue is damaged due to infection or trauma. 

Note: Some people might be born with impotency.

The treatment

Panchakarma

Panchakarma is a way of eliminating the toxins present in the human body. Once this process is done, the digestive system is corrected at a micro-level. This process ensures that the energy derived from the foods reaches every single cell in the body. 

Once the required nourishments like vitamins, minerals have reached the cells along with the necessary hormones and enzymes, each cell begins to function at its optimal capacity thus improving the self-healing capacity, boosting immunity and improving the chances of conception.
