How to Increase Sperm Count & Fertility Naturally with Ayurveda
Introduction
Low sperm count and reduced fertility are rising concerns among men due to stress, unhealthy lifestyles, pollution, and hormonal imbalances. Fertility isn’t just about the ability to conceive; it’s also a sign of reproductive vitality and overall well-being.
Ayurveda views fertility as a reflection of a man’s Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue), which can be enhanced and rejuvenated naturally—without side effects—through herbs, diet, and holistic practices.
What Is a Healthy Sperm Count?
According to WHO:
- Normal sperm count: 15 million or more sperm per ml of semen
- Low sperm count (Oligospermia): Less than 15 million/ml
- Also important: Sperm motility, morphology, and volume
If your sperm is low in number, slow, or misshapen—it may reduce the chances of fertilizing an egg.
Causes of Low Sperm Count (Scientific + Ayurvedic)
🔬 Scientific Reasons:
- Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)
- Hormonal disorders (low testosterone, thyroid imbalance)
- Smoking, alcohol, drug use
- Radiation, heat exposure (laptops on lap, tight underwear)
- Stress and sleep deficiency
- STIs and infections
🧘♂ Ayurvedic View:
- Depletion of Shukra Dhatu due to excessive indulgence
- Aggravation of Pitta and Vata dosha
- Poor Agni (digestive fire), leading to malabsorption
- Low Ojas (life force energy), weakening sperm health
Signs of Low Sperm Count
- Difficulty conceiving
- Watery or low-volume semen
- Reduced sexual desire
- Weak erection or premature ejaculation
- Stress, anxiety, or mood swings
