Treating Female Infertility With Western Herbal Medicine

  Female infertility is a global problem that affects almost half of women trying to conceive, especially after the age of 30. The cause of infertility can be treated either with prescription drugs such as Clomid, surgery, such as laparoscopic or methods of assisted reproduction such as IVF. Some treatments can be very expensive and probably not covered by the insurance policy and that is why more and more women are seeking help in alternative therapies like yoga, aromatherapy, hypnosis and so on.

   One of the most ancient techniques highlighted is the drug herbal, which was used in all parts of the world where there were no such things as pills or fertilization or IVF clinics. Whether you go with Western medicine or Chinese, only one thing is important: first gather all possible information on plants and methods to use, consult a specialist and make sure there are no cons-indications that may affect you.

  Since Western medicine, herbs that stimulate the hormones necessary for the reproduction process are: red clover flowers, lady's mantle, wild yam, wild raspberry, false unicorn root and chaste berry. Red clover blossoms restore and balance the hormonal functions because of high levels of calcium and magnesium in the plant. 
   
   The Virgin's mantle focuses on the uterus, strengthening its coating, healing and protection of wound membranes by regulating blood flow. Wild yam contains a substance which is considered the precursor of progesterone, the hormone that acts in the preparation of a pregnant uterus. The plant helps regulate hormone levels in the body and keep the uterus healthy.

   Wild raspberry is also a very good source of calcium, which tones the uterus and its preparation for pregnancy. This is fine if you have had one or more miscarriages. False unicorn root is the plant that focuses on the functions of the ovaries. Its function is to them and stimulate egg production and maintain hormonal balance. Chaste Berry, taken as an extract, has been shown to be helpful in cases of ovarian failure and high levels of prolactin, due to their unique properties.
