EFFECT OF GUDUCHI TAILA MATRA BASTI AND PIPPALYADI YOGA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF INFERTILITY W.S.R. TO ANOVULATION

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus. Infertility is of two types i.e., Primary Infertility and Secondary Infertility. Ritu, Kshetra, Ambu and Beeja are the four essential factors for conception. Conception depends on the fertility potential of both the male and female partner. The male is directly responsible in about 30–40%, the female in about 40–55% and both are responsible in about 10% cases. The remaining 10% is unexplained.[1] Now-a-days, various factors like late marriages, hectic jobs, smoking, obesity, alcohol and caffeine consumption, stress, exposure to environmental toxins, improper diet, sleep and lifestyle may directly or indirectly affect the fertility rate at the global level. WHO estimates reveal that about 1 in 6 people of reproductive age experience infertility in their lifetime.[2] Ovulatory Dysfunction is an important subset in infertility among women, accounting for about 30-40% cases which includes Anovulation.[3] Tridoshas have an impact over all the processes involved in ovulation. Among the three Doshas, Vata (Apana vata) dosha plays a major role in the physiology and pathology of the reproductive tract.[4] Acharya Charak has considered ‘Basti Karma’ as the best line of treatment for Vata dosha. In this case study, an effort was made to study the effect of Guduchi Taila Matra Basti and Pippalyadi Yoga in the management of Infertility caused due to Anovulation.
