Female Infertility Treatment - Strengthing Your Reproductive System

Female Infertility Treatment

My discovery of a way to fall pregnant is connected to ancient knowledge of Ayurveda and Korean treatment Su Jok therapy. Combining these two methods, I believe, can give women the ability to have healthy children even after years of infertility.
 
My teacher taught me to "prepare the ground and the seeds will flourish" and that is the best advice for boosting fertility.
 
Whether you decide to use traditional medical intervention or Eastern Medicine Techniques or a combination of both to treat your individual infertility problems, the first step in getting pregnant and having healthy babies is preparing your reproductive system.

This is best done using Ayurveda and Su Jok. Some of the techniques are used in these medicines are:
  • Diet and lifestyle
  • Su Jok
  • Acupuncture 
  • Herbs 
EVALUATING YOUR MONTHLY CYCLE
 
Treating imbalances alone may not cure your inability to conceive, unless you also work to strengthen and prepare your reproductive system for the important ahead. This begins by evaluating your monthly cycle.
 
You must understand both partners of your own Ayurvedic constitution (vata, pitta, kapha). Look for pattern where you may have deficiency:
  • Create a graph using your basal body temperature. Look for pattern where you have ovulation.
  • Take note of any vaginal discharge.
  • Look for changes in your cervix. 
  • Keep a daily journal of symptoms experienced, especially those near your projected ovulation time or menstruation. 
The Ayurvedic view of the menstrual cycle in three phases:
  • Kapha phase: End of bleeding until ovulation is a time of building the endometrium and increasing kapha. (Oestrogen is increasing.) 
  • Pitta phase: Ovulation until bleeding. (Progesterone is high and is secreted by the corpus luteum - prepares endometrium for implantation and breasts for milk secretion).
  • Vata phase: Apana vayu (the downward descending wind) pushes the menstrum down and out, therefore emptying the contents of the womb. 
Balance vata during the vata bleeding phase by relaxing, resting, staying warn and calm. Especially keep your abdomen warm and avoid the cold.

Balance kapha during the proliferative phase by eating nourishing soups that strengthen the blood and enhance ovulation - include beetroot, aloe vera, shatavari, nettles and whole grains in your diet.

Balance pitta during the last phase of the cycle by keeping off foods that might aggravate heat and stress in your body; i.e. coffee, chocolate, alcohol. Increase your yoga practice, have lots of warm baths and clockwise abdominal massage and increase organic triphala and organic aloe vera in your regime to keep the pelvic region uncongested.
 
Average menses are considered to be 4-5 days, moderate flow, moderate color, no clots and no discomfort. If there is any disturbance in these phases then they need to be balanced. The main problem with the female menstrual cycle is that the downward descending energy (apana vayu) is blocked. This causes all sorts of fluctuations from pain, bloating, dryness, anxiety, insomnia, scanty periods, irregular cycle and clots to infertility.

The strategy is to first clear any obstructions and then to "tone" with nourishing boosting herbs. 

Tips to balance the menstrual cycle:
  • Ensure that there is no obstruction in the pelvic cavity; this means making sure you are not constipated and have no pain during ovulation or menstruation. Use organic triphala and organic aloe vera to help with this.
  • Daily abdominal self-massage with warm organic sesame oil followed by a warm shower or bath. Focus on a clockwise abdominal massage for 5 minutes a day.
  • Take organic aloe vera juice throughout the cycle from day 7 until day 21 to cleanse and nourish the tissues. 
  • Take organic shatavari capsules to boost fertility and normalize menstruation 
  • Drink tea made from organic fennel seeds, liquorice, saffron and fresh ginger. 
  • Drink organic rose water regularly as it prepares the uterus for implantation. 
  • If there are any menstrual irregularities, try Pukka Herbs Shatavari Plus, which contains herbs that regulate ovulation and promote a healthy cycle. 
  • Use the insight of Ayurveda into the phases of the menstrual cycle to promote your health. 
Female Infertility Treatment

Trying to get pregnant can be very stressful and it can be very tense waiting for day 28 to come around. What is important is that getting pregnant can be facilitated by optimising your health and that this is a full-time job, every day of the month.
 

It is easy to say but basically: just try to relax and let nature work her course. Also remember that when we are tense, our channels and vessels are constricted. If this happens then the fallopian tubes, the blood vessels nourishing the uterus and the nervous system can also be constricted, which is the opposite of what is needed to conceive. So, just relax!
