Best Herbs To Cure Infertility: The Secrets Unveiled

By Lisa Olson

Discover the various herbs that can be effectively combined as an alternative form of medicine to help cure infertility.

Herbs can cure the ever-growing problem of infertility. People interested in alternative kind of treatment should be eager to know the specific herbs for infertility. Before we find that out, let us delve deeper into the subject of herbs to know more about its tradition and usefulness. Unlike the Western healing methods, treatment of ailments by using herbs in the East goes back to many centuries. The practice of prescribing herbs to treat infertility in Chinese tradition can be traced back to 200 A.D. References on the same are found in the Indian Vedas, particularly in Ayurveda and these are more than 5000 years old. Many common herbs are used in the average Indian homes, everyday, that provide excellent results. Garlic, if taken regularly, can keep the cholesterol and high blood pressure away. Clove can reduce gastric irritability in chronic cases as it has an anesthetic quality that helps numb the digestive system. Coriander seeds are known for being diuretic and carminative. Saffron is well-known as 'the king of Indian herbs' and is often used in different menstrual problems.

China has often been the origin of some of the best herbs to cure infertility in women. However, a marked willingness has been seen on the part of United States in accepting these herbal techniques. Members of the tradition medical practices of the US are also found to be wary of recommending herbs as a method of treating infertility problems. However, the herbal remedies and their benefits in treating infertility are becoming increasingly popular all over the world. The same is the case in America as well. It has been medically proven that these herbs of Chinese origin are indeed successful in treating infertility. As such, more and more people are growing aware of the benefits of these herbs. Particularly in women of advanced ages or in those who do not have the necessary balance in hormone flows, or even in those ladies who experience problems in having their periods. Both the female body as well as other mental factors are addressed by these herbal methods of treatment. This is one of the primary causes of success of the latter techniques. Instead of tackling the indications of problems, the patient herself is treated by the herbs. As a result, the body is able to regain its overall balance.

The herbal therapies work best when several ingredients are used instead of a lone herb. It also depends on the purity and freshness of the medicinal material that may consist of roots, stems, flowers, fruits and bark of the plant or plants. Herbs that are usually prescribed to treat female infertility include the following:

Licorice, Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, Chasetree Berry, Red Cover blossoms, False Unicorn roots, and Wild Yam.

However, if these herbs are not applied in the correct manner, there might occur adverse effects on the overall health. Hence, these factors need to be kept under consideration. These potential negative effects are all the more pronounced, since the herbs are very potent in nature. In cases where help from a naturopath or a herbalist is not sought for, or if randomly available over-the-counter analgesics are used (along with the application of the herbs), many health hazards can rear up. There are also certain medical problems which should not be treated by using medical techniques. These problems include:

Diabetes Cardiac problems Psychiatric complications Past history or organ transplant Past history of stroke Blood clotting problems High blood pressure Thyroid problems

One more vital part in treatment through herbs includes the method of its procurement. Despite the fact that FDA does not control the production of herbs used for medical purposes, the US Pharmacopoeia imposes certain basic standards and criteria in the manufacturing method of herbal products. Only those establishments that produce or market herbal products that meet these standards are allowed to use their seal of approval, which is in the form of "USP Dietary Supplement Verified".

The fact remains that alternative treatments like holistic remedies indeed give better results for the problem of infertility. Conventional medical treatments can rarely deliver satisfactory results and they come with side-effects as well. On the other hand, a holistic remedy first tries to find out the real problem and then prescribes the suitable herbs to cure infertility. Chinese medications, exercise, diet, acupuncture are the other important parts of the alternative treatment and because of all these perfectly blended together, the results are always positive. - 26706
