Infertility
The Ayurveda assessment of balance and imbalance does not simply identify the gross physical abnormality and match up drugs to a symptom. This is because people can have the same disease for different reasons. For example, ten people could walk into a doctor's office with a headache and have it for ten different reasons. Likewise not everyone has infertility for the same reasons.
Ayurveda evaluation determines the imbalances in the functioning modes of the body. These underlying imbalances are the root causes of a condition and must be removed if real healing is to occur. By determining the causal imbalances at the basis of a disorder, the Ayurveda Health Consultant can address the fundamental source of ill health in the individual.
The Root Causes of Infertility:
According to Maharishi Ayurveda, the following general types of imbalances are responsible for chronic conditions, including infertility. While many of these factors 
do not directly involve reproductive organs the proper functioning of reproductive tissues is actually very dependent on minimizing these types of imbalances.
- Toxins accumulating in tissues and blocking circulation.
- Poor nutrition.
- Poor digestion.
- Imbalance of the nervous system.
- Accumulation of physical and mental stress.
- Lowering of natural resistance and immunity.
- Disruption of natural biological rhythms.
The common modern medical approach to match drugs to symptoms does not completely address many of these factors. As a result, modern medicine often cannot fully remove the core problem and the condition becomes chronic. Chronic means that the condition persists over time even with the best modern medical treatment. Currently over 100 million Americans suffer from a chronic condition, indicating that some new approach is needed in our health care.
Male
A couple is said to be infertile if pregnancy does not result after 1 year of normal sexual activity without contraceptives. About 25 percent of couples experience 
infertility at some point in their lives.
The incidence of infertility increases with age. The male partner contributes to about 40 percent of cases of infertility.
Female
Infertility in a couple that relates to factors associated with the woman rather than the man. Many women trying to conceive for the first time panic if their periods 
continue for even three or four months. But the standard definition of infertility is unsuccessful conception after an entire year of unprotected intercourse.
At that point, a couple should seek a comprehensive examination that includes menstrual and pregnancy history, semen analysis, ovulation tests, and sometimes a laparoscopy to detect endometriosis or pelvic adhesions. Such testing determines the causes of infertility in 70 to 85 percent of all couples.
