regime for couples to follow prior to conception and pre-conception care is rich in knowledge I would very much recommend it to everyone planning a pregnancy.The first step includes purification of the body for both male and female. Basti (herbal enema) treatment can be highly beneficial. The classical text Astanga Samgraha states that Basti is like nectar for the woman who would like to conceive.
Purification treatment through Panchakarma aims to enhance the quality of the following four factors:
1. Rtu – regular menstrual cycle. The fertile period is governed by Kapha (ovulation).
2. Beeja – Shukra and Arthava, healthy sperm and ovum.
3. Ksheetra – healthy Yoni, female reproductive system.
4. Ambu – sufficient and unobstructed blood circulation to receive proper nutrients present in the form of rasa.

Below is a testimonial from a client from a few years back. My heart was filled with joy when I received this email – it was from a lady having completed a classical panchakarma program at the clinic.
“Dear Karin,
It is so nice to hear from you and to learn that you are expanding and more people will be able to enjoy your wonderful treatments.
I also have some news for you – I am 12 week pregnant and the baby is due in September. Actually, I got pregnant immediately after I finished panchakarma so thanks a lot to you and your team. I hope to see you again as soon as I am ready for my next panchakarma (not for the next baby but just for my personal health and well-being)
With best wishes.”
