Fertility Herbs

By Paula

THERE were, many, many years ago, a king and queen who had no children, which made them very unhappy indeed. Hoping by some means or other to have an heir, they agreed to consult all the fairies they could hear of: rows, pilgrimages, every thing was tried, but without success.

Some time after this, it was proclaimed that the queen was going to have a child, and shortly after a princess was born. ~ Sleeping Beauty In The Woods

Did fairies in Sleeping Beauty use herbs to help the queen conceive?

Sometimes you will have to believe

Sometimes you will need some time with yourself and ...

Sometimes you will need another path.

Going back to Mother Earth, herbs for fertility won't create that one unforgettable moment on their own, but they can certainly improve both partners' fertility.

They can have beneficial effects both on your body:

• They help regulate menstrual cycles and ovulation.
• They tone the uterus.
• You will feel more relaxed and your sexual desire can increase.
• The sperm count may increase and they might survive longer, thus increasing your chances of getting pregnant

... and on your psyche, on the way you feel and think.

Fertility herbs can really increase your chances of conceiving.

Choosing the herbs is not an easy decision

Over the years there have been used successfully many plants for fertility. You will have to work with both a phytotherapist and with a gynecologist. The latter can diagnose any problems you have (ovarian cysts, PCOS (polycystic ovaries), irregular menstrual cycle).

Even in cases of unexplained infertility, you will still need your doctors' help to decide which natural treatment to follow.

Speaking of natural remedies, one dear friend of mine has been trying to conceive for almost 2 years now, just with her husband's help :).

I knew that she was stressed by her work schedule and other personal issues, so I told her she should go on a trip to the mountains with her husband.

And yes, I was just thinking of relieving some stress through hiking ;), ha ha!

If this technique didn't work for you, here are some ...

... simple advice in order to increase your chances of getting pregnant

• First of all, try a healthy diet (whole foods, no sugar, no processed products) and switch to organic foods.

• Second, if you like to smoke, give up any substances that block fertility like alcohol or cigarettes.

• After you gave up the bad stuff, do a herbal fertility cleanse in order to get rid of toxins accumulated in the liver and in the other organs.

• Also, you should take a treatment with fertility herbs like Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) or Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum).

• And last, but not least, and a very important thing for almost anyone, reduce your stress levels, which is a major known cause for infertility.

  Again, you can use Herb Robert - an adaptogen herb which increases resistance to stress, enhances immunity and neutralizes free radicals.

These are small changes, but they can bring a huge joy in any couple's life.

If you've already been through the de-stress period and are doing the healthy diet thing, it's time for the ...

... Fertility herbs treatment

In my country (Romania), the most used herbs to increase fertility are Hogweed and Herb Robert.

The combination of raspberry leaves (Rubus idaeus) and red clover flowers is again very often used to stimulate fertility.

It seems that every part of the world (depending on specific flora) has its own tradition of using plants for fertility. We are very lucky to live in the internet age, so we can get information on plants from all over the world and choose the combination of herbs that suits us.

From China comes Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) with good results, among other things, in sperm motility problems and Dong quai (Angelica sinensis).

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) from Peru is a sexual tonic and a fertility stimulant in both women and men.

Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa) is known and used frequently in US. It will help in PMS and menopause problems.

False unicorn root (Chamaelirium luteum) is another herb inherited from the Native American tradition used for disorders of the female reproductive organs.

It is a tonic of male and female genitalia. It is recommended to increase both fertility and during pregnancy to prevent a miscarriage and for morning sickness relief.

Vitex, also called Chaste Tree / Chasteberry (Vitex agnus castus) native to tropical, subtropical and also warm temperate regions has effect on the pituitary gland.

It regulates hormone levels who play a role in female reproduction (it is used in case of prolactin excess, progesterone secretion disorders or luteinizing hormone).

!!! Specialist advice is very important because treatment generally lasts between three and nine months, and wrong dosage (irresponsible) can lead to other serious problems, like irreversible hormonal disorders.

Fertile XX promotes effective female reproductive system support for fertility. (Chasteberry / Vitex, Black Cohosh, Eleuthero)
