Top Ayurvedic Remedies for Low Sperm Count in Men

Low sperm count, also known as oligospermia, is one of the leading causes of male infertility in India. While modern medicine often focuses on temporary fixes or invasive procedures, Ayurveda offers a holistic, natural, and long-lasting approach to improving sperm count and quality — without any harmful side effects.

If you or a loved one is struggling with low or nil sperm count, this article will help you understand the root causes, the Ayurvedic perspective, and the most powerful herbal remedies that can naturally enhance fertility.

🧬 What is Low Sperm Count?

According to WHO, a healthy sperm count is 15 million sperm per millilitre or more. Anything below that is considered oligospermia. Low sperm count can make it difficult to conceive naturally.

🧨 Common Causes of Low Sperm Count

  • Excessive heat exposure (tight clothing, laptops, hot baths)

  • Smoking, alcohol, or drug use

  • Poor diet and nutritional deficiency

  • Stress and anxiety

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)

  • Chronic illness or infections

  • Over-masturbation or excessive sexual activity

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective on Male Infertility

In Ayurveda, low sperm count is associated with an imbalance in Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue). A weakened Agni (digestive fire), accumulation of Ama (toxins), and disturbed Vata energy often contribute to infertility in men.

Ayurveda not only treats the symptoms but restores balance and vitality to the entire reproductive system — naturally and safely.

✅ 5 Powerful Ayurvedic Remedies to Improve Sperm Count

1. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Known as Indian Ginseng, Ashwagandha enhances testosterone levels, improves sperm count, and reduces stress. Clinical studies have shown it can improve sperm concentration and motility.

👉 How to Use: Take 1 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder with warm milk at night.


2. Shilajit

A potent mineral resin from the Himalayas, Shilajit increases energy, boosts libido, and helps with spermatogenesis (sperm production).

👉 How to Use: A pea-sized amount of purified Shilajit with warm water daily is beneficial.


3. Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris)

Gokshura supports urinary and reproductive health. It improves testosterone secretion and helps in maintaining sperm health and volume.

👉 How to Use: Available in powder or capsule form, ideally under Ayurvedic supervision.


4. Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum)

Safed Musli is a well-known natural aphrodisiac. It strengthens reproductive tissues, improves libido, and enhances semen volume.

👉 How to Use: 1–2 grams daily with milk, preferably after dinner.


5. Kaunch Beej (Mucuna pruriens)

This seed is rich in L-Dopa, a precursor to dopamine. It improves sexual performance, sperm quality, and also helps fight depression-related fertility issues.

👉 How to Use: 3–5 grams daily, mixed with honey or warm water.
