Increase Fertility Naturally

To increase fertility naturally, in terms of philosophy from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), both men and women should take the responsibility instead of blaming either side. This makes sense as many couples would become anxious and moody once they really wanted a baby but just failed though trying to get pregnant for so many times. Mental state can directly affect the chances of getting pregnant. So, as for increasing fertility naturally, the couples need to take the right way to regulate the imbalance of their bodies and state of minds as well, especially in those cases of unexplained infertility.

General principles on how to increase fertility naturally

When it comes to how to increase fertility naturally, kidney is the most mentioned visceral organ in TCM. It is no exaggeration to say that, to some extent, it always comes down to tonifying kidney no matter it is to increase male fertility or increase female fertility.

Traditionally, as for specific assisted reproductive practice, there are many ways to increase fertility in TCM. However, the common way to increase fertility in men is mainly replenishing vital essence and controlling nocturnal emission with astringent drugs. And the common way to increase fertility in women is mainly regulating menstruation. As old saying goes like, men should cleanse his heart and limit his desires in order to store up sperm while women should calm her heart and stabilize her Qi in order to build blood.

From the TCM point of view about reproductive health, physical weakness can result in infertility, or cause birth defects even though after pregnancy. Hence, both men and women should take control of them and improve the pregnancy environment through daily life, rather than just only relying on infertility treatments from fertility clinics and taking fertility medication or fertility supplements.

Natural ways to increase fertility

Now I would like to introduce some daily principles. The purpose is mainly to give the chanc! e to exp erience the basic idea that is advocated by Traditional Chinese medicine, including conforming to the course of nature, harmonizing yinyang, balancing between abstention and lust, and regulating both of mind and body simultaneously etc.

Physical regulating and getting pregnant

Ancient Chinese already knew the fact well that both obesity and thinness could lead to infertility or irregular menstruation. TCM believes that overweight people tend to have heavy phlegm inside the body, which blocks the uterus and causes irregular menstruation. On the contrary, the skinny people tend to have excessive fire inside the body, which consumes body fluid and thus cause shortage of blood and Qi. Now modern research has confirmed that both of obese women and bony women is more likely to have endocrine disorders, which may reduce fertility. Hence, maintaining a normal shape is one important factor that is related to pregnancy.

Regulating mental states to increase fertility chances

Due to wanting a baby so badly, women are often full of too much stress and anxiety, which also affect the endocrine system. TCM also believes that emotional factor can directly affect the chances of conceiving. The stimulation from different mood can damage different visceral organ according to TCM theory. For instance, sullenness may injure liver and disrupt its function for releasing, which thus cause chaos of Qi activity and affect the uterus in the end.

On the contrary, a tranquil mood can make internal organs work harmonically, which helps blood a Qi run smoothly. With the virtuous circle, sperm and blood can be generated continuously, which finally ensure the possibility of getting pregnant naturally. For women who are ready for pregnancy, presence of mind is required and they should always avoid being moody. Doing some appropriate concentration meditation is a good idea, which definitely can help emotional stability.

Foods to increase fertility

In order to give a good environment for germ ! cell to be well developed, a few months prior to conception it is necessary to provide good nutrition by eating high protein and vitamin-rich diet. A balanced diet and avoiding smoking and excessive drinking mean so much as well. In addition, during menstrual period, foods that are warm and hot, easy to digest are more preferable while cold and spicy foods should be avoided.

Timing for increasing fertility naturally

In ancient society productive forces were very low and fertility was a major problem. TCM emphasizes all favorable conditions to choose the best time for getting pregnant. Hence, it needs to adhere to some fertility taboos.

  • Natural disasters, such as thunderstorms, fog, extreme cold and heat of the weather;
  • Avoid special occasions, such as Buddhas Birthday, New Year or a funeral;
  • Inappropriate places such as temples, kitchens, and graves.

TCM believes that having sexual intercourse in the above-mentioned occasions will disrupt the peoples psychological and physical activity, thus reduce the pregnancy rate. In addition, sexual intercourse should not be avoided in the situations of physical fatigue and poor health. If violating the taboo, the health of next generation will be also affected even though the pregnancy success.

When purchasing dried fruit, 9 out of 10 people will pick the bag that looks prettier than the one that has fruit turned brown. Go beyond the beautiful color because that beautiful color is deceiving. It may even carry toxins. Sulfur dioxide is used to prevent discoloration in dried fruit but it's carries some significant side effects. The most common reactions are diarrhea, allergies, headaches and asthma.
