What is an Ayurvedic contraceptive, and how does it work in preventing pregnancy naturally? - #12419

I’ve been reading about Ayurvedic contraceptives and am curious to learn more about how they work as a natural method of birth control. I know that Ayurveda offers various herbal remedies for balancing the reproductive system, but I’m not sure how these herbs or treatments can be used to prevent pregnancy. What is an Ayurvedic contraceptive, and how does it work to prevent pregnancy? I’ve heard that Ayurvedic herbs like Shatavari, Lodhra, and Ashoka are used to regulate female hormones and balance the menstrual cycle, but how do they contribute to contraception? Are these herbs taken internally as powders, teas, or capsules, or are they used in other forms? I also read that Panchakarma, which involves detoxification therapies, may have an impact on fertility and reproductive health. Can Panchakarma be used to enhance fertility, or is it also used as a form of natural contraception? Are there any Ayurvedic methods for men to help in fertility control or contraception? How can herbal treatments support healthy sperm count and prevent unwanted pregnancies? Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions to consider when using Ayurvedic contraceptives? Can these herbs interfere with other medications or cause hormonal imbalances? If anyone has used Ayurvedic contraceptives or has knowledge about this, I’d love to hear your insights. How effective were the remedies, and what methods worked best for you? Looking forward to your insights!
