ABSTRACT

Infertility is raising globally, though the modern therapeutic measures are developed. Both male and female partners contributes in 20-30% cases of infertility. Modern lifestyle changes are the root cause of this scenario. Pregnancy starts with the union of the male and female gametes. Minute defects in the gametes, reproductive system of the female and psycho-hormonal status of the couple may leads to ineffective conception. This results in unhealthy pregnancy outcomes. For the successful conception and better pregnancy outcome, the pre-requisites mentioned by Ayurveda are– kshetra (female reproductive system), beeja (sperm and ovum), rutu (fertile period), ambu (nutritive ahar rasa), hrudya condition (normal psyche of the couple), vayu (normal neuro-hormonal pathway). In these pre-requisites all the preventive and therapeutic modalities are provided. Preventive measures starts from the purification of the bodies of the couple and so on. Lateron various regimes and rituals are advised according to related factors. Ayurveda has focused keen attention on each and every aspect. Following, basics and modalities of the holistic science can improve the process of production of healthy genome. It not only overcomes the problem of infertility but also can provide physically and psychologically healthy new generation.
