Infertility

Finding it hard to conceive can be one of the saddest and most stressful experiences to have. Many men and women reluctantly find  infertility begins to dominate their lives and all the joy and spontaneity goes out of having sex. Inevitably this has an impact on the relationship between you both and can even start to affect your general health.

It is important to look after yourselves, both as a couple and as individuals, as you embark on this journey. Some couples cannot conceive in the first place and some women experience infertility in the form of repeated miscarriages. This can be devastating and cause huge stress, a sense of bereavement and even fearfulness over future pregnancies.

While herbal medicine cannot make you pregnant , being healthier will make the conditions physically right for you to become pregnant and stay pregnant. Herbs have been used for centuries in Europe and across the world to try and affect hormone levels and the reproductive organs.

 

Most infertility treatments are aimed at women but it is important not to forget that a healthy male is needed for conception as well. Herbal medicine can safely be taken by both men and women to try and improve fertility.

Infertility can be caused by many factors and may need lots of medical interventions and even forms of assisted conception. Herbal medicine may help to enhance their likelihood of success. Simply improving and tonifying your general health and reducing stress levels will make a difference.

However, don't forget, there are some herbs and plant extracts which should NOT be used in pregnancy. A professional medical herbalist will be able to advise you.
