Best Herbs To Cure Infertility: The Secrets Unveiled

By Lisa Olson

Did you know that some herbs contain such powerful healing properties that they can be used to cure infertility?

Have you ever wondered what the best herbs to cure infertility problems are? A deeper insight into these topics is necessary prior to finding out the names of these herbs. In the Eastern nations, curing illnesses by the use of herbs dates back to hundreds of years back, contrary to the relatively newness of this practice in the Western countries. Literary materials on the treatment of diseases by using herbs can be found in the Vedas (more specifically, the Ayurveda) dating back to over 5000 years in the past. Infertility treatment by the application of herbs started in China at around the time of 200 AD. In fact, an average Indian household often uses many easily obtainable herbs. These herbs have highly desirable effects. For example, cloves can diminish problems related to the chronic cases of gastric disorder, by acting as an anesthetic that can numb the entire system of digestion; garlic can, when consumed regularly, avoid the risks associated with rising cholesterol levels and high blood pressure count. Also, menstruation cycle related issues can be effectively dealt with by saffron, the so-called 'king of Indian herbs'. The carminative and diuretic effects of coriander seeds are also well known.

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.

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

Black Cohosh Licorice Red Cover blossom Wild Yam False Unicorn root Dong Quai Chastetree berry

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:

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

The ways of getting hold of the herbs also forms an important part of the entire process of herbal treatment. There are certain basic guidelines laid out by the American Pharmacopoeia which need to be followed while manufacturing these herbs. However, no control measures on the production of herbal medicines are imposed by the FDA. An official seal of approval, called the "USP Dietary Supplement Verified" are provided to certain organizations and places that produce and sell these herbal medicines.

The fact is that alternative treatments or holistic remedies do indeed give the best results for infertility. Conventional treatments are hardly able to deliver the satisfactory results and they come with many side-effects as well. Holistic remedies first tries to find out the real problem and then prescribes the best herbs to cure it. Chinese medications, acupuncture, exercise and diet are all included in the holistic remedy of infertility and because of which, the results are always positive. - 14130
