Herbal infertility treatment is very old indeed – in fact it goes back thousands of years. Two of the oldest examples of the uses of herbs for infertility can be found in Indian Ayurveda (even as earlier as 6000 years) and in CTM or Chinese Traditional Medicine. But these two look at infertility differently and there are differences in the way they treat the problem as well.
According to Ayurveda, infertility happens when the person's diet is inadequate, the lifestyle is unhealthy and most importantly, when there are too many toxic elements within the body that are affecting the vital organs. Chinese Taoists however say that infertility is the result of blockages within the body, due to which, there is a problem in the free flow of energy. When there are blockages, it hinders the efficient functioning of the body and one result of this is infertility. And they have not only defined infertility, but they have also found a remedy for this problem. CTM experts say that herbs along with Chinese acupuncture needles when inserted at the right places can unblock the energies and release them, thus aiding the pregnancy process. Uttaravasti in Ayurveda interestingly, is also somewhat similar to this line of treatment.
Here's one more important fact about herbal infertility treatment. Though herbs are of course very important, but it is necessary to know that they are used not just to remove the symptoms, but to treat the person completely – both in body and in mind. And not only that, the herbs are also able to restore the hormonal balance of the body which often gets disturbed and one result of which is infertility. But when seeking such remedies, do remember that they tend to work better among women with infertility problems. The treatments suggested are often a combination of various ingredients in forms such as tablets, pills, granules and others. In some cases if it is more suitable for the patient, the treatment may also be in the form of a tea. Here are some of the components that form a part of herbal infertility treatment…
• Black Cohosh
• Dong Quai
• Licorice
• Red Cover blossom
• Chastetree berry
• False Unicorn root
• Wild yam
While there are many herbs that are used, but it can be said that the ones that can improve the fertility to a great extent are Siberian Ginseng, Vitex, Don Quai and Motherwort. And among these, Don Quai seems to be the most effective. Don Quai gives such great results because it can promote the normal functioning of the ovaries and also re-establish the normal cycle in all those women who are victims of infertility.
There is another problem that many women suffer from. While they are able to conceive, but often they fail to carry it and thus it ends up with miscarriage. What they need in such cases is the herb Vitex. There are three hormones in the body that can help a woman conceive, sustain the pregnancy and also is responsible for breast milk. These three hormones are LH or Luteinizing hormone, Progesterone and Prolactin. Vitex is able to enhance the level of them in the body and this is really some great news for the woman. The uterus also needs to be kept relaxed and for this, the woman needs Wild Yam and Cramp Bark that also prevents miscarriage. A weakened immunity is another cause of infertility and herbs can help here as well. Many women become a victim of cold and flu's (the most common symptoms of a poor immune system) and when they have turned to these herbs, most of them have got great results.
Herbal infertility treatment is a great idea, but this alone may not work. For best results, it has to go together with the holistic approach of treatment. The holistic approach first finds out the real problem and then suggests a remedy that is appropriate for it, and this remedy can be in the form of herbs, Chinese medicines, exercise, diet and lifestyle changes and even acupuncture. Conventional remedies on the other hand just suggest assisted methodologies and thus in most cases they fail. Holistic approach on the other hand is successful in most cases.
