How to Increase Sperm Count & Motility Naturally with Ayurveda
Introduction
Low sperm count and poor sperm motility are two of the leading causes of male infertility today. Due to rising stress, poor diet, pollution, and lifestyle disorders, even young and healthy-looking men are suffering from weak reproductive health.
But Ayurveda provides powerful and natural tools to boost sperm count, improve motility, and enhance fertility—without chemicals, injections, or side effects.
What is Sperm Count and Motility?
- Sperm Count: The number of sperm present in one milliliter of semen. Normal is above 15 million/ml.
- Sperm Motility: The ability of sperm to move actively and reach the egg. 40% or more motile sperm is considered healthy.
Low values of either can cause difficulty in conception, delayed parenthood, and emotional stress.
Scientific Causes of Low Sperm Count & Motility
- Oxidative Stress & Toxins
Free radicals damage sperm DNA and reduce motility. - Heat Exposure
Tight underwear, hot laptops, and saunas affect sperm production. - Poor Diet & Obesity
Deficiency of zinc, selenium, and vitamin C lowers sperm quality. - Smoking & Alcohol
Lowers testosterone and increases sperm abnormalities. - Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
Affect semen quality and reproductive function. - Stress & Hormonal Imbalance
Cortisol suppresses sperm production in the testes.
Ayurvedic View: Shukra Dhatu & Sperm Health
In Ayurveda, Shukra Dhatu represents the reproductive fluid and sperm. When Shukra is nourished, it leads to strong fertility, libido, and healthy semen. Poor digestion, over-ejaculation, and Vata-Pitta imbalances can damage this Dhatu and result in low sperm parameters.
Ayurveda strengthens the Shukra Dhatu through Rasayana therapy (rejuvenation) and specific herbs known to enhance reproductive tissue.
