AYURVEDIC APPROACH IN AN UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY – A CASE REPORT Authors: Madhu M And Timmapur K*
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Infertility significantly affects the physical, psychological and social well-being
of couples. It is defined as the inability to conceive after one or more years of regular
unprotected intercourse. In Ayurveda, this condition is described under the term Vandhyatwa.
As per acharya’s, Conception depends on the proper functioning of Garbha Sambhava
Samagri—Rutu (ovulatory phase), Kshetra (uterus), Ambu (nutritional fluids) and Beeja
(ovum/sperm), along with balanced Vata dosha, Shadbhava (Matraja, Pitraja, Atmaja, Satvaja,
Satymaja, Raktaja), and wellbeing of psychological state. This case report presents a 26-year-
old woman with a two-year history of infertility. The patient was given Ayurvedic treatment
starting with Virechana Karma followed by Shamana Chikitsa along with a proper diet
regimen. After completing the course of treatment, the subject successfully conceived.
Shodhana karma Virechana, played a vital role in clearing srotorodha, proper functioning of
apana vata, improving quality of beeja and reducing psychological stress. The Shamana
chikitsa helped in nourishing Saptadhatus along with balancing tridosha and also acted as
Rasayana which stimulates ovulation and restores hormonal balance.
