Infertility Ayurvedic Treatment - 3

AYURVEDA FOR MALE FERTILITY

Male fertility can be caused by all sorts of sperm defects (low volume, low motility, irregular shape), erectile dysfunction and obstructions (varicocele and prostatitis).

Tips to boost male fertility
There are two basic strategies to optimise male fertility. First clear any obstructions and then tonify the reproductive tissue.
1. If you think there is an obstruction (constipation, dribbling urine, poor erectile function) use herbs such as Gokshura (Tribulis terrestris), Guduchi (Tinosporia cordifolia) and Triphala to clear the blockage. When the path is clear use tonics.
2. Ayurveda has a fantastic repertoire of tonic herbs for improving erectile function, boosting sperm count, strengthening motility, and enhancing form. Use Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens) to treat any weakness in sperm count, form or function.
