The world-renowned health resort, Ananda in the Himalayas, has introduced its latest wellness offering for 2024: the Fertility Enhancement Program. Around one in six adults around the globe who are trying to conceive faces infertility problems, leading to a growing dependence on expensive and stressful reproductive interventions like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and gestational surrogacy. While the option of egg freezing is growing more popular as a way to preserve reproductive choices, the ultimate success of these methods still heavily relies on the quality of the eggs and sperm and the condition of the womb where the embryo will develop.
This is more than just a conception-moon vacation. While there will be time to relax and embrace intimacy with your partner, it is also a vacation with a mission where you are supported by technology and spirituality to guide you down the process of improving fertility and ultimately becoming pregnant.
Ananda in the Himalayas has introduced a cutting-edge Fertility Enhancement Program to improve the overall quality of life. Situated at the base of the Himalayas, this program is built upon ancient healing practices dating back 5,000 years. Expert practitioners guide participants, including Ayurvedic doctors, traditional Chinese medicine specialists, yoga instructors, and holistic therapists. The program focuses on purifying and fortifying the function of the hormone and reproductive systems to support the health of future generations.
Ananda's innovative fertility improvement program offers a comprehensive approach to enhancing reproductive well-being by combining the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with a holistic wellness strategy. Within this framework, Ananda imparts essential insights rooted in time-honored wellness practices to craft a well-rounded fertility-enhancing solution.
Who is the Fertility Program For:
The Fertility Enhancement program is suitable for single persons and partners. It aids those who aim to enhance and preserve their reproductive system’s wellbeing. Ananda embraces the principles of ancient knowledge, promoting life choices that contribute to favorable fertility outcomes. The program is particularly beneficial for women considering preserving their eggs through freezing, as it may boost their quality. Additionally, individuals who are about to begin or are already in the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) can participate in the program. However, they need to be mindful of any limitations related to their ongoing medication.
The Fertility Enhancement Program:
Vajikarana is a traditional section of Ayurvedic medicine focused on enhancing fertility and sexual health. This therapy aims to increase both the health and amount of reproductive substances over time. It contributes to better fertility, sexual wellness, and the likelihood of producing healthy offspring. Ananda employs Vajikarana techniques to improve fertility by enriching the shukra, which is the reproductive tissue (including both male sperm and female eggs), believed to hold the vital properties of all body tissues, or dhatus.
Dr. Naresh Perumbuduri, a seasoned Ayurvedic practitioner specializing in fertility and sexual health at Ananda in the Himalayas, states, "An individual possessing robust shukra (reproductive tissue) projects self-assurance, exhibiting bright eyes and a glowing complexion. Disruptions in the body's natural daily cycle, or Dinacharya, can trigger a series of issues linked to stress reaction and accumulation of toxins. This can cause a cascading effect of hormonal imbalance which penetrates the six essential tissue layers, ultimately impacting the reproductive essence, known as shukra."
Vajikarna therapy employs an extensive four-stage process to enhance the quality of the shukra dhatu throughout all life stages.
- Calming imbalances in the dosha (disrupted flow of life energy) that impact the reproductive tissue.
- Nurturing the essence of reproductive tissue to preserve its integrity and volume.
- Boosting the output of the essential tissue through this tailored approach.
- Encouraging the production of reproductive seeds in individuals of advanced age.
Program Phases:
The Ananda in the Himalayas fertility retreat process takes place over several different phases to ensure a complete view of challenges as well as time to develop solutions to help you conceive successfully and achieve your goal of becoming pregnant on vacation.
Diagnostics & Pre-Arrival
The regimen starts by asking a series of targeted questions during an in-depth consultation prior to arrival. Medical professionals then recommend necessary fertility evaluations and mandate a stringent diet to adhere to for a week leading up to the Vajikarana treatment.
Rebalancing
Upon arrival, participants begin the program by adopting lifestyle changes, or Dinacharya, to correct harmful physical habits, thereby facilitating a shift in mental and emotional openness. This realignment stage involves a rigorous combination of Ayurvedic practices, yoga, and therapy sessions with transpersonal psychologists.
Purification
Purifying treatments, which also feature components of advanced Panchakarma fertility strategies, are employed. Ayurveda focuses on detoxifying the body and enhancing metabolic processes.
Restorative
Restorative shamana treatments involve the application of medicinal oils designed to alleviate stress, enhance emotional well-being, and balance hormone production. Depending on individual needs, particular Ayurvedic treatments are provided to boost reproductive health. Incorporating a specialized dietary regimen and herbal supplements such as Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Shilajit, and Ashoka plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation process.
Holistic Well-being to Boost Reproductive Health:
Traditional Chinese Medicine starts its process at the beginning by clearing the pathways in the body to let the blocked energy move freely once more. This step prepares the body for the most effective benefits of further treatments to enhance fertility. Additionally, TCM focuses on balancing hormone levels by boosting the well-being of particular organs that are crucial for reproductive health.
Visceral osteopathy, a type of physiotherapy, is performed on the abdomen using hands-on methods that target the body's internal organs.
Yoga for healing enhances blood flow to the abdomen, supports reproductive health, and boosts the performance of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, leading to better balance within the endocrine system.
Emotional and Cognitive Therapy focuses on the relationship between the well-being of sperm and egg and the patterns of thought and behavior. Negative emotions, stress, and a disconnect can greatly affect fertility. At Ananda, the use of transpersonal psychology and diverse emotional therapy methods aids in cultivating a positive outlook and building endurance throughout this process.
The main objective is to enhance the quality of sperm and eggs, boost the functioning of reproductive organs, increase vitality, address hormonal fluctuations, correct imbalances in the endocrine system, and tackle lifestyle issues that impact reproductive capability. Additionally, the program seeks to teach individuals and couples how to maintain personal and social equilibrium, lower stress and worry, and adopt age-old practices to preserve life-long energy.
Ananda's program, designed to improve fertility, begins with a standard stay of at least 14 nights. However, a stay of at least 21 nights may be necessary for those with specific medical needs. The cost per night for a single guest starts at $900 USD, which is exclusive of government taxes and assumes accommodation in a Deluxe Garden View room.
