Doctors’ responses
Phal Ghrit is an Ayurvedic medicine, in herbal ghee form, used in the Ayurvedic treatment for male and female infertility.
It is believed to correct hormonal imbalances, improve uterine health, and support overall reproductive strength, which are factors that can influence the success of conception and implantation during IVF.
Phal Ghrit should be considered a complementary therapy and not a replacement for conventional IVF treatments, which have undergone extensive clinical testing.
A common recommendation for dosage is 1 to 2 teaspoons orally, preferably with warm milk or water, twice daily
It may promote healthy blood flow to the uterus and reproductive organs, ensuring adequate nourishment for a healthy pregnancy.
Phal Ghrita is often recommended in Ayurveda to support female reproductive health. During IVF treatment, the goal is to support endometrial receptivity and hormonal balance, but it’s essential to consider Phal Ghrita’s compatibility with your current medical treatment. Usually, Phal Ghrita is taken from the start of your menstrual cycle until the embryo transfer. If your Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is upcoming, it may not be advisable to start or continue taking it without discussing it with your reproductive endocrinologist or IVF specialist first. They can provide guidance to avoid any interference with your IVF protocols.
Continuing with Acupuncture can be beneficial, as studies suggest that it may help improve IVF success rates by enhancing uterine blood flow and reducing stress. So, incorporating it might complement your IVF journey well, but holistic care isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s crucial to coordinate these treatments with your IVF physician to ensure they align with your customized fertility plan.
Since you had a miscarriage, it’s vital that every aspect of your treatment, including any Ayurvedic practices, supports your body during this sensitive time. Consider focusing on a balanced diet rich in fresh, organic foods, emphasizing warming and nourishing meals to support Agni and ensure Rekta Dhatu (blood health) is strong.
Discuss any supplements or Ayurvedic treatments with your medical team—especially those regarding dosages and timings. This coordinated approach ensures that all interventions work towards achieving the optimal environment for embryo implantation and pregnancy support. Prioritize maintaining open communication with all your health care providers to navigate through this effectively.
Taking Phal Gritha during IVF is generally considered okay, but it’s essential to coordinate with your fertility specialist. Phal Gritha, an Ayurvedic formulation, could support fertility by nourishing the reproductive tissue (shukra dhatu) and enhancing overall vitality. Traditionally, it’s used to balance vata dosha, which can affect reproductive health, and yet no official clinical studies firmly establish its efficacy or safety in modern medical contexts like IVF.
You might want to use Phal Gritha up until the embryo transfer, but consult both your Ayurvedic practitioner and IVF specialist to ensure there’s no interaction with your current treatments. Dosing should adhere strictly to guidelines from your Ayurvedic doctor, typically a teaspoon twice a day, mixed in warm milk.
Acupuncture, as an adjunct, also shows favorable results in supporting IVF outcomes. It primarily assists in stress reduction and enhancing blood flow to the uterus.
Given your history of miscarriage, monitoring is critical. While Ayurveda offers complimentary support, your situation requires precise medical supervision. Always be transparent with both your Ayurvedic and IVF practitioners about all the treatments you’re receiving, including acupuncture.
If you experience any unusual symptoms or concerns, quick consultation with your healthcare provider is crucial. Safety is the utmost priority, especially with the sensitive nature of IVF treatments.
