Management of Infertility (part-2) –

All about The 12^th issue of Ayurvedline

Though modern medicine has tried to breach the frontiers of this field with techniques like IVF, GIFT etc., the success rates are still not satisfactory.

Infertility is also being successfully treated by many ayurvedic consultants. But their studies and approach have been confined to their clinics. Ayurvedline, the only ayurvedic drug index in the world has timely focused its twelfth edition on Infertility with special focus on female infertility.
