AYURVEDIC VIEW ON INFERTILITY AND ITS MANAGEMENT W.S.R. TO ROLE OF UTTAR BASTI

Infertility is a disease of female reproductive system which impairs the capacity of reproduction. Although the prevalence of infertility is believed to have remained relatively stable during past 40 years, there is no doubt that the demand of infertility evaluation and treatment has increased considerably. The factors such as lifestyle, stress, excessive usage of contraceptives, genetic problems, smoking & drinking habits increases such cases day by day. Ayurvedic classics describe both mental and body purification along with lifestyle management for treating infertility.  Panchkarma provides best efficacy because it helps in balancing Doshas and Dushyas. Uttarbasti is one such type of therapy being indicated for infertility. It helps in detoxification of reproductive tract like uterus & fallopian tube. Uttarbasti helps in balancing Vata Dosha and thus helps in retaining Garbha. According to Acharya Charaka, due to normalization of Vata caused by Uttar Basti, the yoni retains the Garbha quickly. Present review is an effort to understand the efficacy of Uttarbasti in female infertility. Considering the effects of Uttarbasti it was proved as a better palliative treatment to many female disorders helps to revitalize the hormonal system and giving fruitful result.
