Can Herbs Increase Fertility?
Excellent evidence exists to indicate that herbs for fertility work
in regulating the body’s supply of hormones and serve to relieve
the stress that often underlies fertility problems.
Many of the herbs
that increase fertility have been found to possess natural forms of
estrogen and other pharmaceuticals routinely used to treat pregnancy
issues in synthetic forms. The names of some of these herbs, like
black cohosh, are fairly familiar, but others, like red clover and
chasteberry are less well known.
How do Fertility Herbs Work?
In general the goals of fertility herbs and vitamins are to regulate
hormone levels in the body, to maintain optimum health in the uterus,
to reduce stress for the entire system, and to regulate sexual desire.
Issues of conception are very much a game of balance and some women
feel that the best way to win that game is to follow as natural a
regimen as possible. Consequently fertility herbs have grown in popularity
and more and more couples are curious about their use.
Upon testing, it has been discovered that many of the herbs used to
enhance fertility actually do have drug-like components. Red clover
for instance, has isoflavones which are similar to estrogen and black
cohosh contains both phyto-estrogens and salicylic acid (aspirin).
Since resolving problems with fertility is always a unique proposition
from one woman to another, it is extremely important to never mix
herbs and prescription fertility medications. Always speak with your
doctor before beginning an herbal therapy.
What Herbs Work
for Fertility
There are considerable inconveniences and side effects to many of
the conventional medical methods to increase fertility. Herbs are
an attractive alternative for many women and the natural aspect of
the treatment can go a long way toward simply relieving stress in
these women. Without question stress is a major factor in a woman’s
ability to conceive (or lack thereof). For some women just feeling
that they are doing the best and most natural thing for their bodies
helps enormously. The major herbs listed for fertility treatment are
listed below.
RED CLOVER
Red clover has long been regarded as one of the best of the natural
herbs for fertility. High in calcium, magnesium, chromium, phosphorus,
thiamine, potassium, niacin, thiamine, and vitamin C, red clover also
contains estrogen-like isoflavones. Providing mild sedation, red clover
relaxes the nerves, minimizes muscle cramps, and nourishes the glands
that produce hormones. A cup or more of red clover infusion (tea)
a day is recommended.
CHASTEBERRY OR VITEX ANGUS
Another of the available herbs to enhance fertility is chasteberry
which was used by the Greeks as much as 2000 years ago. Chasteberry
stimulates the pituitary gland to create a larger LH (luteinizing
hormone) surge much in the same way the drug clomiphene citrate works.
This helps to bring on ovulation and balances the pituitary gland’s
production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Chasteberry
is an effective treatment for premenstrual syndrome, infertility,
and even menopause all of which are marked by hormonal imbalances.
It is normally taken in capsule form.
