How to increase amh and egg quality - #5134

To improve AMH and egg quality:

Diet: Include antioxidant-rich foods (berries, nuts), healthy fats (avocado, ghee), and protein. Avoid processed foods and sugar. Herbs: Consider Ayurvedic herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha after consulting a practitioner. Lifestyle: Manage stress with yoga or meditation; prioritize good sleep. Supplements: CoQ10 and Vitamin D may help with egg quality (consult your doctor). Detox: Mild Panchakarma therapies can support hormonal balance (if recommended by an Ayurvedic expert). Work closely with your IVF specialist and an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized guidance.

Having low AMH levels and concerns about egg quality can be quite overwhelming, especially when planning for IVF. In Ayurveda, we focus on nourishing the dhatus, or the bodily tissues, and ensuring a balanced dosha state to enhance fertility.

First off, it’s essential to strengthen your ojas, our vitality, and boost the rasa dhatu, the essence that nourishes the reproductive system. Ashwagandha and Shatavari are two wonderful herbs that can support reproductive health. Look for good quality supplements or powders, take shatavari about a teaspoon twice daily with warm milk, and Ashwagandha capsules as directed. They help to enhance fertility in a nourishing way.

Additionally, your agni or digestive fire plays a big role. You’d want to avoid heavy, greasy foods and instead, focus on a sattvic diet – lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, organic dairy. Timing is crucial: Eat meals at regular intervals and avoid late dinners. Think in terms of nurturing warmth and strength within.

Try including sesame oil for cooking, it’s got nourishing properties for the tissues. And don’t skip on hydrated yourself properly, warm water’s best. A daily consumption of soaked almonds or walnuts can also be beneficial; they provide good fatty acids aiding egg quality.

Ghee is another powerhouse. A teaspoon of it on an empty stomach can strengthen reproductive tissues, so incorporate it wisely. A regular Abhyanga or self-massage with warm sesame oil encourages circulation and balances vata, which is often aggravated in such scenarios.

Lifestyle habits matter too – snatching some Z’s (about 7-8hrs) each night and keeping stress in check through yoga or meditation can make a world of difference.

Finally, moments of relaxation aren’t just leisure – consider them a part of your treatment. IVF is quite a journey, take each step at your pace. If anything doesn’t seem right or if you have specific concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider.
