Astheno - #5399

Anonymously

Recently, my doctor mentioned I have a condition called astheno, and it’s linked to poor sperm motility. This news has hit me hard, especially since my partner and I have been trying to conceive. I want to understand if there’s any Ayurvedic help for astheno. Does anyone know what herbs or treatments might be effective for astheno? I’ve heard that herbs like Ashwagandha and Kapikacchu can help with male fertility, but are they specifically good for astheno? My lifestyle isn’t the healthiest, and I know stress and poor sleep might be making my condition worse. Does Ayurveda suggest specific lifestyle changes for astheno, or is it just about the herbs? If anyone has dealt with astheno, I’d love to hear how you managed it with Ayurveda. Did the treatment take a long time to show results? Are there specific foods or exercises that complement the remedies for astheno?

Astheno, or poor sperm motility, is commonly linked to an imbalance in the *Vata* dosha in Ayurveda, which affects energy, vitality, and the body's ability to nourish and support reproductive health. To support male fertility and improve sperm motility, herbs like *Ashwagandha* (Withania somnifera) and *Kapikacchu* (Mucuna pruriens) are excellent choices. Ashwagandha helps rejuvenate the reproductive system and reduces stress, while Kapikacchu enhances testosterone levels and supports sperm quality. Additionally, *Shatavari* (Asparagus racemosus) and *Safed Musli* (Chlorophytum borivilianum) are commonly used for male fertility and vitality. Lifestyle changes are also crucial—managing stress through meditation or pranayama, improving sleep quality, avoiding excessive heat or toxins (e.g., in processed foods or chemicals), and maintaining a balanced diet rich in nutrients like zinc and selenium are beneficial. Regular exercise, particularly strengthening and balancing movements like yoga, can also improve circulation and support reproductive health. It may take several months to see significant results, and a holistic approach combining herbs, diet, lifestyle adjustments, and stress management is key to supporting overall fertility and sperm motility.
