AYURVEDIC VIEW AND TREATMENT ACCORDING TO CHANDIGARH AYURVED CENTRE
In Ayurveda, preparing a woman’s body for conception is compared with the process of farming. It is believed that as the health of a crop depends upon the quality of seed, soil, timing of sowing and the amount of water it gets, in the same way the health of the baby depends upon the health of the parents.
For a healthy and successful pregnancy, a couple needs to take care of the following four important factors:
- Sperm/Ovum that is compared with seeds
- Uterus that is compared with the soil
- Nourishment that is compared with the water
- Time for conception that is compared with the timing of sowing
Ayurveda believes that healthy poorva dhatu leads to the development of the uttarotar dhatu. If due to above reasons, rasa dhatu is not formed properly, then the subsequent dhatus are not formed healthy. As a result the reproductive tissue or the shukra dhatu remains deficient and hence leads to the condition of infertility. The main aim of ayurvedic treatment in case of infertility is to make sure that there is proper transformation of the food into nutrients that can lead to the proper development of the shukra dhatu.
