Natural, Herbal Remedies for Infertility
Modern medicine approaches most female infertility problems with prescription medications for hormone balancing. These medications are generally synthetic versions of a specific hormone that a woman may be lacking. There are, however, recent reports that these synthetic hormones can produce dangerous side effects.
For those who are concerned about the side effects of prescription drugs, there are several natural, herbal solutions for helping to balance hormones. These alternative approaches work best in conjunction with a whole body healing initiative.
This basically means that taking herbal remedies for balancing hormones may not produce the desired effect, if an individual doesn't address the lifestyle habits that were the underlying, or root cause of the condition to begin with.
Three herbal remedies that can help to improve your overall nutrition are Alfalfa, Kelp and Parsley. These herbs are all rich in essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Kelp can also help to regulate the thyroid gland.
These herbs are especially important for females with endometriosis, fibroids, or PCOS, particularly if they suffer from heavy menstrual periods. Menstrual blood contains 40% more calcium than normal, so a woman's reserves can be depleted quickly during heavy periods.
Black Cohosh is a natural source of estrogen that can help to supplement the reduced estrogen production that is common in women with infertility problems.
Sarsaparilla is an effective general hormone balancing herb, that can also help stimulate the production of estrogen.
Horsetail is a natural diuretic that is often taken for bladder and kidney problems. It can be useful for women with fibroids, however, because it helps dissolve fatty tumors in the body.
Red Raspberry is an effective general female health herb that is usually taken in tea form. Red Raspberry can help tone, strengthen and heal the entire female reproductive system. It is also an effective remedy for heavy menstrual periods.
