‘Fertility Enhancement Programme’ launches at Ananda
We’re living in a reproductive reckoning that is having reverberating effects across the planet. The following is clear: The current state of reproductive affairs can’t continue much longer.
Infertility is a global issue: the latest research published in 2023 by WHO indicates that around 17.5% of the global adult population – roughly 1 in 6 worldwide – experience infertility. If the decline continues at the same rate, by 2050 many couples will need to turn to technology assisted reproduction; frozen embryos, even eggs and sperm that are created from the cells in a laboratory.
The problem isn’t that something is inherently wrong with the human body as it evolved over time. It’s that chemicals in our environment and unhealthy lifestyle practices in our modern world are disrupting our hormonal balance. In some parts of the world today, the average twenty-something woman today is less fertile than her grandmother was at thirty-five.
Holistic lifestyle adaptations can help promote fertility naturally. Recognised as one of the world’s leading luxury wellness retreats, Ananda in the Himalayas announces their new 14- or 21-day ‘Fertility Enhancement Programme,’ a highly customised path of Ayurvedic wisdom, Yoga, Oriental Medicine and Transpersonal Psychology, which provides vital guidance for holistic and natural procreation.
This new programme is ideal for couples and individuals who wish to conceive naturally, who want to maintain the health of their reproductive system, and those considering egg freezing, as it can increase the quality of the oocytes before the procedure.
Based on Vajikarna, the branch of Ayurveda that deals with fertility, the Fertility Enhancement Programme emphasises cleansing the body of toxins, refining the metabolic function and stabilising hormonal fluctuation for improved performance of the reproductive seed or shukra dhatu.
Guests will have access to therapies, personal sessions, and consultations based on these multiple practices.
Integrative Wellness & Fertility at Ananda:
Ayurvedic Approach: Guests experience Vajikarana therapy to improve the health of the shukra dhatu (male sperm and female ovum), beginning with a detailed pre-arrival consultation. On arrival, lifestyle modifications or Dinacharya are introduced to readjust faulty physical patterns, followed by Shodhana (purificatory) and Shamana (restorative) therapies to cleanse the body of toxins and to reduce stress, improve mood, and regulate hormones. Guests will also enjoy a customised wellness meal plan and diet therapy based on Ayurvedic principles.
Traditional Chinese Medicine: TCM assists treatments to effectively impact the body by unblocking meridians and ensuring stagnated energy in the body can begin to flow again, as well as stabilising hormonal fluctuations.
Yoga: Yoga practices increase the blood circulation in the abdominal region, maintains genital health, and improves functioning of thyroid & parathyroid glands while promoting endocrinal harmony.Physiotherapy: As part of Ananda’s integrative approach that involves both modern and ancient sciences, visceral osteopathy is done on the abdomen. This involves manual therapy techniques applied to the body's inner organs.
Emotional Healing: Emotional and Cognitive therapy works to build on the broken interconnection between healthy sperm and ovum to thought and behavioural patterns.Rather than waiting for infertility to develop, these traditional sciences and treatments advocate healthy choices in life today for positive fertility enhancement tomorrow.
