Fertility Herbs

There are many very powerful herbal remedies for all types of medical conditions. Most everyone knows that a bladder infection can be helped with cranberries, or cranberry juice. Aloe Vera is not only used for home remedies, it has also, recently, been incorporated into many modern, advanced medicines. There are also herbal solutions to help in the search for fertility!

What are these herbs? Well, there are blackberries, mugwort, saffron, Dang Gui, Ligusticum, Rehmannia, and White Peony. You should be able to locate these herbs in general health food stores, as well as some stores in the Chinatown district of your local city.

Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), Ligusticum, Rehmannia, and White Peony. This is a classic Chinese formula known as Dang Gui Four and can be found in any Chinatown and some health food stores. There are also herbs to help “maintain” the pregnancy, and prevent miscarriage. These are Chaste berry, Cramp bark, and Partridge Berry.

Why do these herbs help? The blueberries, according to the Chinese naturalist view of treatment, are considered to be a nutritive tonic. Use of the blueberries will promote a strong density and function of all organs, including the reproductive ones.

Mugwort is believed to be almost magical in it's effect on the female sexual organs. Blood flow to the reproductive organs is increased, thereby warming and strengthening the uterus, leading to more productive female cycles, and pregnancy.

Saffron has been used for many centuries to strengthen circulation and promote warmth to the spleen, which is believed to be essential to the reproductive organs, and, therefore, necessary for a healthy, complete pregnancy. This herb is known to be very expensive, but also very effective.

The Dang Gui Four is used to promote healthy circulation in the entire female pelvic area, which is believed to be a major cause of infertility, as well as working with the pituitary gland to increase ovulation.

Though no herb is guaranteed, and use may not result in pregnancy, the use of these herbs has been well documented for centuries in Chinese medicine and in our own “country” folks here in the United States, and these remedies have been relied upon for centuries to help couples in their search for a baby.
