Abstract

Ayurveda has a holistic approach to most diseases. It is the same in the case of  fertility treatments too. Many factors affect both men’s and women’s fertility  these days, including stress, pollution, poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle, to  name a few. To ensure that the mind and body are in the best possible condition  to procreate, it’s critical to cleanse the body of toxins and nourish it with the  right nutrients. Despite years of trying, one out of every seven couples have  problems conceiving. This is due to a variety of social, emotional, and  physiological variables. Around 25% of instances may be unexplained  infertility, in which both men and women have no recognized aetiology.  Fertility rates and population growth rates are steadily declining over the world,  particularly in developed countries. Present paper aims to throw some light on  the concept of infertility as per the concepts of Ayurveda.
