Let's start with an herb that comes to us from traditional Chinese medicine and that's Dong Quai. Called the "female ginseng," this herb is commonly used by women everywhere to help treat PCOS -- or polycystic ovarian syndrome -- one of the most common causes of infertility.
It's said that Dong Quai helps the endocrine system -- or the regulation of your hormones -- as well as the liver. So it's really no surprise that many women use it to help relieve their irregular menstruation.
You need to know that this herb does thin your blood, so precautions need to be taken.
But as good as it is for the possibility of restoring a woman's ability to conceive, many men swear by this herb as well. It appears to help restore a man's fertility as well. According to some research Dong Quai contains a natural substance called ferulic acid. It's an antioxidant that has been shown to improve the quality of sperm.
All the more reason to keep this herb around it seems!
Chasteberry
A little known herb, chasteberry stimulates and normalizes the various functions of your pituitary glands -- especially in the area of progesterone production.
It appears, according to many herbalists, to help improve the normal production of many hormones associated with the female reproductive system. Many women choose this when they are trying to restore balance to their endocrine systems in order to improve their chances of conception.
It's no wonder that it has a deep and rich history in this area. But more than its history, the scientific research is finally catching up with chaste berry's reputation.
The results of recent research studies confirm that it may help relieve various symptoms of hormonal imbalances. This would make it the perfect herb for women who are infertile because of ovulation issues.
False Unicorn Root
Now, I bet there's an herb you don't talk about everyday -- false unicorn root!
Women who experience irregularities in their menstrual cycle or excessive bleeding appreciate this herb. It's also been recommended for those who are suffering with the symptoms of endometriosis as well as ovarian cysts.
Physical therapy for infertility?
Where are you going? Physical therapy? Were you in an accident? No? Had some type of surgery? No?
Oh, you're taking physical therapy to improve your chances of getting pregnant. Right . . . .
Okay, so you may not hear many women say that -- at least no at the moment. But two forms of physical therapy exist which may change all of that. They are myofascial release and the Wurn Technique. These two practices are closely related.
