Herbal medicine provides hope to couples who want help conceiving naturally. Although there are many medical treatments available for infertility these days, however, these treatments are expensive and there is no guarantee that they will work. These treatments can also prove to bephysically painful and emotionally draining for the couple involved.
Herbal remedies for conceiving are absolutely safe and without any major side effects. Some of these remedies are easily available but should be taken only under supervision of a qualified doctor and an experienced herbalist. These herbal remedies boost your chances of becoming pregnant by treating the causes responsible for infertility.
For example, women find it difficult to conceive if they suffer from amenorrhea and hormonal imbalance. Herbs can be used to regularize periods in a woman and also for balancing the hormones in the body. In men, infertility is caused mainly due to lesser sperm count. This can again be treated by use of herbs.
HERBS TO GET PREGNANT
Stinging Nettle
Hormonal imbalance in women can be corrected by use of stinging nettle. This herb contains plenty of minerals in high amounts. The leaf of stinging nettle is packed with chlorophyll. This combination of minerals and chlorophyll is what makes the herb an excellent remedy for creating hormonal balance in the woman’s body.
When the hormones are present in the right amount the woman menstruates and ovulates regularly. A woman who ovulates regularly will find it easier to conceive than a woman who does not. Once the menstrual cycle is regulated, fertilizing the egg is no longer an issue.The herb is available in tea form and drinking 3-4 cups of stinging nettle tea daily are recommended to increase the chances of getting pregnant.
Lady’s Mantle
This herb is again used for helping women conceive. Lady’s mantle is often used in ayurvedic medicine for correcting various disorders of the reproductory organs in women. Regular use of the herb helps prepare the inner lining of the uterus. This is the lining that is shed when a woman menstruated. Shedding of this lining also results in ovulation.
Ovulation is very important if a woman has to conceive. Using lady’s mantle will keep your periods regular, which is very important for getting pregnant. You can find the tincture form of herb in any ayurvedic or herbal store. The herb is also available in powder form. You can prepare its tincture at home. However, use only glycerin or vinegar for preparing the tincture instead of ethanol.
Red Clover
This herb is used for treating women who face fertility issues. Red clover contains high traces of minerals such as magnesium and calcium. The herb is also a rich source of other minerals. This makes it very helpful in correcting mineral deficiencies in women.
Most women find it difficult to conceive because they either suffer from nutritional deficiency or have eating disorders. The herb helps treat these deficiencies by providing the body with these essential nutrients.Red clover is commercially available in tea form and the recommended dosage is two cups of the tea every day.
Raspberry Leaf
Since olden days, raspberry leaf was used for correcting calcium deficiency in women. Calcium deficiency often leads to fertility problems in women along with spoiling the health of the bones. The herb has large quantity of calcium which is required for balancing the hormonal levels in the body. When the hormones are balanced, the body is better prepared to conceive. The herb is often given in combination with red clover for boosting the chances of pregnancy.
Dong Quai
This is a Chinese herb and has been used since centuries to regularize the process of menstruation in women. We have already discussed the importance of regular menstrual cycle if a woman has to conceive successfully. The herb is used for boosting the production of estrogen (a female hormone) in the body.
It is estrogen which is responsible for regular ovulation. However, it is recommended that you do not consume the herb once your periods regularize or when you are menstruating. The herb results in thinning of the blood that can cause severe loss of blood or even hemorrhage during menstruation.
False Unicorn
This is a rare herb that is used mainly for boosting the production of various hormones in a woman’s body. The herb also treats the ovaries and repairs them of any damage thus making ovulation possible. But, the herb should be taken only under supervision as consuming large quantities of the herb can cause kidney failure. Mild side effects of the herb include abdominal cramping and nausea.
Ginseng
This Chinese herb is used for correcting many disorders and conditions including infertility. Regular intake of ginseng is known to treat infertility in men. Ginseng is available in pill form and is known to work much like Viagra.
The herb keeps up the regular supply of blood to the penis making the erection last longer. Ginseng also helps with the production of testosterone in human body. It also helps maintain a high sperm count along with increasing the sperm motility.
Wild Yam
This herb is used for treating problems of female reproductive system. Wild yam is known to help produce progesterone in the female body. Pills of wild yam are to be taken on the day of ovulation to increase the chances of fertilization of the egg. However, care should be taken that the pills are taken only on the days of ovulation otherwise the herb can prevent the egg from getting fertilized. Hence, you must consult an herbalist before taking the wild yam pills.
Astragalus
Since ancient times this herb has been used in Chinese medicine to boost fertility in men. Astralagus is used because of its properties that help increase the speed of sperms.
It is a known fact that only the fastest sperm can fertilize the egg. However, many times fertilization fails because the sperms fail to reach the egg because of issues with their motility factor.
Do not take the herbs on your known without consulting your doctor and an herbalist. It is a well established fact that herbs do not react well with some prescription as well as over-the-counter medicines.
