Abstract

Ovulatory factors make up 25% of the known causes of female infertility. Di-minished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) affects 10 percent of women seeking infertil-ity treatment. This condition can be correlated to dhathu kshaya vandhya mentioned in Haritha Samhitha. Shamana chikitsa which normalises vatha, pitha, promoting rasa dhathu, arthava upadhathu and sukra dhathu is benefi-cial in treatment of DOR. In this case report Ayurvedic medicines aided in in-creasing AMH value. It can improve the chances of natural conception or can satisfy the prerequisite for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) without a donor egg. Ayurveda by its holistic approach of management proves to be very effective in DOR and can work wonders if explored in a scientific manner.
