Many female face problem when they try to conceive. In Ayurvedic view this problem occurs due to imbalances of vata, kapha and Pitta dosa. So you need to take treatment to balance these dosa and you also need to strengthen and prepare your reproductive system.
First understand Ayurvedic view of the menstrual cycle
Kapha phase: End of bleeding until ovulation is a time of building the endometrium and increasing kapha. (Oestrogen is increasing.)
Pitta phase: Ovulation until bleeding. (Progesterone is high and is secreted by the corpus luteum—prepares endometrium for implantation and breasts for milk secretion).
Vata phase: Apana vayu (the downward descending wind) pushes the men-strum down and out, therefore emptying the contents of the womb.
Balance vata during the vata bleeding phase by relaxing, resting, staying warm and calm. Especially keep your abdomen warm and avoid the cold.
Balance kapha during the proliferative phase by eating a nourishing soups that strengthen the blood and enhance ovulation- include beetroots, aloe vera, shatavafi, nettles and whole grains in your diet.
Balance Pitta during the last phase of the cycle by keeping off foods that might aggravate heat and stress in your body, i.e. coffee, chocolate, alcohol. Increase your yoga practice, have lots of warm baths and clockwise abdominal massage, and increase organic triphala and organic aloe vera in your regime to keep the pelvic region uncongested.
