Understanding AMH Levels and How Ayurveda Can Help
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is produced by small follicles in a woman’s ovaries and indicates ovarian reserve, or the number of eggs remaining. Low AMH may suggest reduced fertility potential, but it does not necessarily mean infertility. Ayurveda offers natural approaches to support ovarian health and improve fertility.
Common Causes of Low AMH Levels
Low AMH can occur due to several factors:
- Age-Related Decline: Natural decrease in egg count after 35 years.
- Medical Conditions: Endometriosis, ovarian surgery, or premature ovarian failure.
- Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet, stress, smoking, vitamin deficiencies (especially Vitamin D).
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to toxins or chemicals affecting ovarian function.
Signs & Symptoms to Watch For
Low AMH may not show direct physical symptoms, but women could notice:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Difficulty conceiving naturally
- Early menopause symptoms
- Low antral follicle count in scans
A blood test usually confirms AMH levels, done on any day of the menstrual cycle.

| 0.3 – 0.7 | Low — Some fertility treatments still possible |
| 1.0 – 3.5 | Normal / Healthy ovarian reserve |
