Chinese Herbs And Fertility

Chinese herbs have a long history of use in aiding fertility. More than 150 different herbs are used in the treatment of infertility with the purpose of correcting a functional or organic problem that caused infertility. The design of the formulas has varied somewhat over the centuries, based on prevailing theories and available resources, and individual practitioners have a preference for particular herbs, thus accounting for some.

How The Herbs Are Acquired And Consumed

In China, a number of fertility formulas can be purchased off the shelf in public pharmacies, and for uncomplicated cases. In the U.S., it is uncommon to find fertility-promoting formulas in stores or other outlets prescribed by acupuncturists, naturopaths, or medical doctors who are familiar with Chinese herbs. Some of the treatment plans involve using a single herb combination regularly, while others suggest using two, or even three, different formulas at different times of the menstrual cycle. All of these means can be effective, as long as the correct formula and correct dosage are used for an adequate period of time.

Duration Of Treatment To Attain Fertility

Many Chinese doctors feel that if pregnancy is not achieved within eight to nine months, it is unlikely that the treatment will be successful with continued attempts. In Japan, where doctors give lower dosages of herbs and are restricted to using a smaller range of herbs, treatment time is usually longer from six to fifteen months. In the U.S., nearly the full ranges of Chinese herb materials are accessible, but the dosage to be used is usually lower than in China. It must be remembered, however, that approximately one-third of infertility cases may fail to respond to all reasonable attempts.

Precautions

Before the herbs are taken, one should pay attention to perceived adverse responses to the herbs. Fertilities and Vitamins move simultaneously with each other. The Chinese herbs that are used in the U.S. are not toxic, but there are a few possible adverse reactions that are rare and can usually be avoided by slight adjustment in formulation or method of administration. These reactions may include dizziness or headache, dry mouth, nausea, flatulence, or change in bowel conditions. Never mix Natural herbs with fertility drugs!

In fact, all herbs should be discontinued upon the confirmation of a pregnancy. These Natural fertility herbs work naturally but you should use them cautiously and safely.
