Fertility Support
Our Ayurvedic fertility care is supportive. It runs alongside your gynaecologist or fertility specialist and their tests, never in place of them, and we cannot promise that you will conceive.
Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of health care, looks at diet, daily routine, stress and the menstrual cycle. Evidence here is limited.

C8, 5th Floor (Medical Floor), C-Tower, Spectrum Mall, Phase 1, Sector 75, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201301Who This Care Is For
- Couples or individuals trying to conceive who want help with diet, lifestyle and stress.
If you have not had a fertility review, see a gynaecologist first.
How We Help
- Consultation. Our Chief Ayurvedic Consultant, Dr. Hemlata Soni (BAMS), who focuses on women’s health and postnatal care, reviews your history, cycle and reports from your gynaecologist or fertility specialist, and assesses your Prakriti and Vikriti at our Sector 75 clinic.
- Diet and lifestyle. Personalised advice on diet, daily routine and lifestyle through Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle consultations. Evidence for specific fertility diets is limited, so we do not promise an effect.
- Stress support. Yoga guidance from YogiShri Govind Niranjan, our Yoga & Wellness Expert, and psychological assessment and counselling from our Clinical Psychologist in English and Hindi. Counselling is not part of the free first consultation.
Precautions & When to See a Doctor
Do not stop prescribed medicines, including fertility medicines, or change an IVF plan, without your fertility specialist. Our care is complementary to medical, gynaecological, fertility, psychiatric and specialist care, not a replacement for any of them. Tell us about every medicine, supplement and herb you take.
See a doctor promptly for very irregular or absent periods, or for fever with pelvic pain. Get emergency care for sudden severe pelvic pain, heavy bleeding or fainting. If you may be pregnant, get urgent medical care for any vaginal bleeding. For your partner, see a doctor promptly for a lump, pain or swelling in a testicle. If you have been trying to conceive for a long time without success, see a gynaecologist or fertility specialist without delay.
If you are in crisis or thinking of harming yourself, call Tele-MANAS 14416 (free, 24×7) or 112 now.
Who Should Not Start Herbs Without Advice
- Anyone who is pregnant, may be pregnant, or is breastfeeding.
- Anyone taking thyroid medicines. One meta-analysis found a modest rise in T4, a thyroid hormone, with ashwagandha [5].
- Anyone with liver disease.
- Anyone taking blood thinners or medicines for diabetes, blood pressure, anxiety or sleep, as herbs can interact with them.
- Anyone having IVF, ovulation medicines or other fertility treatment, unless their fertility specialist has approved the herb.

How Ayurveda Looks at Fertility
In Ayurveda, fertility is linked with the balance of Vata, one of three doshas (body energies). Your Prakriti (basic constitution) and current imbalance, called Vikriti, guide the plan. This is a traditional framework, not something proven by trials.
What the Evidence Shows
Some of it comes from case reports, which describe one person.
- A review of Ayurvedic herbal medicines in female reproductive health notes possible benefits, but questions the methods of existing studies and calls for more rigorous trials [1].
- A scoping review of Ayurvedic studies in women with PCOS found a promising role for symptoms, but noted gaps and said safety reporting must be more rigorous [2].
- A case report described a pregnancy after a multi-part Ayurvedic approach. The authors said the evidence base is weak, that the approach might have been an important factor, and that other factors could not be ruled out [3].
Lifestyle and Stress
- Yoga. A systematic review of yoga in people with fertility problems found a positive effect on stress, anxiety and depression, and suggested it may help alongside IVF [4]. Yoga is supportive care, not a proven route to pregnancy.
- Stress hormones. A systematic review and meta-analysis of ashwagandha (*Withania somnifera*), a herb used in Ayurveda, found it significantly lowered cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone [5]. The authors call for more standardised trials, so this does not show a fertility benefit.
Partner’s Health
Ask your fertility specialist which tests suit both partners.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of ashwagandha in male infertility found the data promising but too limited to show robust benefit [6].
