How to Improve Egg Quality Naturally for IVF Success :
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) offers hope to countless couples struggling with infertility more than 3 years . However, one of the most crucial factors influencing IVF outcomes is egg quality. Even with advanced medical technology, poor egg health can reduce the chances of successful fertilization and embryo development.
Ayurveda, with its holistic wisdom since many years , provides natural ways to improve egg quality and prepare the body for healthy conception. At Ayusanjivani Ayurveda Clinic, Pune, we support women undergoing IVF with tailored therapies such as Panchakarma (detoxification) and Rasayana Chikitsa (rejuvenation) to optimize reproductive health naturally.
Why Egg Quality Matters in IVF :
Good egg quality determines:
- The ability of the egg to fertilize
- The health of the resulting embryo
- The chances of implantation and full-term pregnancy
Women over 35, or those with conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or low ovarian reserve, often struggle with egg health. This is where Ayurveda can offer complementary support.
Ayurvedic Approach: Beej, Kshetra, Ambu & Rutu :
Ayurveda describes fertility with four pillars :
- Beej (Seed – the ovum): it is foundation for conception.
- Kshetra (Field – uterus): Healthy uterine environment supports implantation,such as healthy uterus .
- Ambu (Nourishment – rasa dhatu): Nutritional fluids that sustain egg and embryo.
- Rutu (Timing – ovulation): Proper timing for conception.
Improving egg quality before IVF means strengthening these four pillars.
