Ayurveda examines recurrent pregnancy loss from a holistic perspective, highlighting the importance of balance among the body, mind, and spirit. In accordance with Ayurvedic principles, recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) can be linked to conditions such as “Puthraghni yonivyapath” and “Garbhasravivandhya,” which pertain to fertility issues and recurrent pregnancy losses stemming from imbalances in the three doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each woman's distinctive constitution (Prakriti) is shaped by her doshas. An imbalance resulting from excessive intake of Katu (spicy), Kashaya (astringent), and Tikta (bitter) foods, along with other lifestyle choices, can elevate Vata levels—potentially leading to conditions like “Shonita Dusti” (blood disorders) and “Artava Dusti” (ovum-related disorders), which could contribute to pregnancy loss. The Ayurvedic approach focuses on fostering a supportive environment for conception and maintaining pregnancy rather than merely addressing symptoms.1-3
