Abstract

“Aputrasya gatir naasti” means without a child there is no eternity. Couples that have been unable to conceive a child after 12 months of regular sexual intercourse without birth control are infertile. As per ayurveda Vandhyatva can be classified into 3 types i.e Vandya (Absolute sterility), Sapraja means Women in her reproductive age does not conceives after giving birth to one or more children- (secondary infertility). Apraja means women conceive after treatment (Primary infertility). According to Acharya Kashyapa, couples who conceive naturally as a result of their past life acts are fortunate; if not, they should receive medical attention. Nasya and Uttar Basti have been indicated in female infertility. Acharya Charaka states that since Uttar Basti normalizes Vata, the yoni quickly retains Garbha. Nasya's role in regulating the HPO-axis may be associated with the nervous, vascular, and lymphatic routes. Many successful studies have demonstrated that the olfactory and trigeminal nerves are the primary routes via which drugs are transported from the nose to the brain. Present review is an effort to understand the efficacy of Shatavari Taila Nasya and Uttar Basti in female infertility according to evidence based clinical trials. Drawing from existing research, we suggest that Shatavari could potentially ameliorate female reproductive health issues, such as imbalanced hormone levels, PCOS, follicular growth and development, oocyte quality, and infertility by potentially lowering the body's level of oxidative stress and elevating the level of antioxidants. Ayurvedic management provides a promising, cost-effective avenue for addressing infertility disorders and enhances the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF), especially after previous unsuccessful attempts. This study aims to enhance clinical evidence and Ayurvedic methods for infertility.
