*Dr. Ruchi Bhardwaj
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Female infertility, particularly due to tubal blockage, poses a significant challenge in reproductive health. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical science, offers holistic therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring the body's natural balance. This case report presents the Ayurvedic management of female infertility attributed to tubal blockage. According to Ayurveda, vitiation of Vata and Kapha doshas plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of tubal blockages. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on correcting these imbalances through lifestyle changes, herbal medications, dietary guidance, and purification therapies like Panchakarma. The goal is to eliminate obstructions, facilitate proper flow within reproductive channels, and enhance overall fertility. Case Summary: A 33-year-old female with a history of cesarean delivery and a failed IVF cycle was diagnosed with bilateral tubal blockage.

Outcome: Following three months of structured Ayurvedic intervention, notable improvements were observed in her reproductive health, resulting in a successful natural conception. Conclusion: This case underscores Ayurveda's potential as a complementary modality for managing tubal blockage-related infertility. The therapeutic approach outlined herein merits further clinical exploration to establish its efficacy and integration with modern reproductive techniques.
