Fertility Herbs for Women

The using of fertility herbs for women has a long history in China. In ancient time or even in modern China, to carry on the family line is still the top most priority for a married woman. If a woman, for some reason, is unable to have a baby, she has very little status in her family no matter it is because her or her husband. Given that mentioned reason, the research on herbs for infertility has always gained great attention in China.

Now more and more strong evidence was added by modern research to support the efficacy of natural fertility herbs. And the studies from western counterparts also revealed that Chinese herbs for fertility like Dong Quai, Vitex and black cohosh could help bring relief to menopausal symptoms and premenstrual syndrome. And they also considered that fertility herb may increase fertility naturally by involving in regulating the female endocrine.

TCM diagnosis for unexplained infertility in woman

If a woman has nothing wrong with physical condition, western medical system tends to give the diagnosis as unexplained infertility after the fertility tests for women. However, from the point of view of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), any unusual conditions can trace the root causes why it occurred and use the facts to develop a remedy except her was born with it.

TCM also believes that the causes for female infertility come from many aspects. The following are those main causes. These causes, more or less, are all connected with the imbalance in visceral organ of kidney, liver and spleen.

  • The first main cause is congenital deficiency of kidney Qi or acquired deficiency due to excess of sex life;
  • The second main cause is recurrent miscarriage, which may also damage the kidney function and lead to deficiency of kidne! y Qi;
  • The third main cause is depression in a long period. It can result in stagnancy of Liver Qi, which would finally lead to female infertility too. Long ago ancient Chinese had come to realize that moody was closely related to many diseases. This cause is also known as Jealousness Infertility.
  • The fourth main cause is binge. Drinking too much wine and eating too much oily food can generate a substantial amount of phlegm inside the body, which might contribute to female infertility. In such case, it is also known as Obesity Infertility.

Of course the causes for infertility in TCM dont end here. But the above-mentioned four types are most common seen. As for causes for men, please refer to another article of male infertility causes.

Chinese fertility herbs for women

Today in drug store, you can easily find some ready-made TCM fertility drugs for women such as Wu Zi Yan Zong Wan and Tiao Jing Cu Yun Wan. So here comes in the question which Chinese fertility herbs should be taken to increase fertility naturally in women? At this moment I have to repeat it again that normally any diagnosis by Chinese medicine needs to perform the four diagnostic methods, namely inspection, listening and smelling, inquiry, pulse taking and palpation, before giving out any description. If possible, please consult a TCM doctor before taking these natural fertility pills, fertility vitamins or fertility supplements.

Regularly some herbs can be always found in the some formulas, which are used for infertility treatment in women. These infertility herbs are believed to tonify kidney and thus increase fertility in women. The list is as follows.

  • Tu Si Zi (Semen Cuscutae Chinensis);
  • Nu Zhen Zi (Fructus Ligustri Lucidi);
  • Du Zhong (Ecommia Bark);
  • Gou Ji Zi (Chinese Wolfberry);
  • Yin Yang! Huo (Ar ial Parts of Epimedium);
  • Ba Ji Tian (Morinda Root);
  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia, Chinese Foxglove Root).

Actually infertility treatments with TCM does not end just Chinese fertility herbs. In fact acupuncture is another popular way available today. For more information about it, please also refer to acupuncture for fertility.

Considerations in fertility treatments for women

One thing need to stress in natural fertility treatments is that there are many other causes involved in female infertility, which include retroversion of uterus, cervicitis or salpingitis, oophoritis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and polycystic ovarian syndrome and so on. All these mentioned diseases can impair womens fertility. In addition, lifestyle factors such as drinking, smoking, malnutrition, stress and emotional reasons are also the aspects that need to pay attention to.

So, to increase fertility in women, it can not just focus on the infertility itself.

On the contrary, for most women, they have to change their bad lifestyle in the first place. Otherwise, TCM can do nothing to help either. Nevertheless, if there are other problems such as stress, infection, and inflammation, the TCM doctor will also prescribe the corresponding fertility herbs for women to effect a cure.

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.
