It’s no secret that couples these days are
having an increasingly difficult time conceiving. Even young women in their
20’s who should have no trouble in this area are sometimes finding it a
challenge to let nature take its course. Diet is clearly a critical part of
healthy reproduction and eating the
correct foods to promote fertility is Job #1. It is a lesser
known fact that fertility herbs can play a huge role in this area. It is often
a simple and very straightforward process to assist the establishment of
pregnancy using these safe and time tested plants to balance the female
hormones and libido.
Fertility herbs are also helpful in nourishing the body and
female reproductive system which in turn helps to relax the entire nervous
system to facilitate conception. This can come as quite a surprise for some who
had perhaps only been aware of herbs used for natural birth control. You know how doctors
are often prone to say to couples having trouble conceiving that the woman just
“needs to relax”? While this is an irritating comment for any woman to
hear who ready to have a baby, herbs for fertility just might help this to
happen a lot more quickly by doing exactly that!
Best Fertility Herbs
Note that these powerful fertility herbs work most effectively
in the absence of any structural problems within the reproductive system.
Hence, it is best to discuss resolution of issues such as endometriosis, fibroids or blocked fallopian
tubes with your practitioner first.
Stinging Nettle
Nettle is my most favorite all around fertility herb. Not only
does it tone and nourish the uterus, it also promotes strengthening of the
kidneys and adrenal glands. If you are or have ever been a coffee
drinker, this herb is for you!
One, two, or even more cups per day of this high mineral tea which
is also loaded with chlorophyll (a detoxifier) for several months goes a long
way toward preparing a woman’s body for pregnancy and for sustaining the embryo
once conception occurs.
Nettle tea is also
fantastic in preparing for the baby’s birth as it is extremely high in Vitamin
K, which allows the Mother to safely skip the newborn vitamin K shot knowing that her
newborn baby’s blood will already contain an ample amount. Oral Vitamin K is another excellent
option to the toxic laden shot.
Continuing to drink nettle tea while breastfeeding promotes
successful lactation and a copious milk supply as well! A nettle infusion also
helps with allergy relief from seasonal pollen
issues as a bonus because it is a potent, natural anti-histamine.
Red Clover
Red clover is an
excellent fertility herb primarily due to the high amounts of calcium and
magnesium. These two minerals are believed to be of high importance in
affecting a woman’s ability to conceive.
Red clover contains every single trace element needed by the
glandular system. As such, this alkalizing herb is probably the single
most effective plant used for balancing of the hormones needed for conception
to take place. Balancing the body acid/alkaline PH, and thereby,
the uterus PH, goes a long way toward favoring conception.
Brew your red clover tea along
with peppermint or another type of mint if you prefer. This acts as a sexual
stimulant. To make a powerful infusion of these herbs in combination, take one
ounce of red clover and a teaspoon of peppermint and steep in one quart of hot
filtered water for 4 hours. Ensure the lid is tightly fastened to contain the
steam.
Drink this mixture as desired once it has cooled down and store
in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Red Raspberry
Red Raspberry leaves,
particularly the wild kind, are very high in calcium. Like Nettle and Red
Clover, Red Raspberry leaves serve as a soothing uterine tonic and a very
effective fertility herb.
The fertility promoting effects of Red Raspberry are
enhanced in combination with other herbs, particularly Red Clover.
To make a powerful infusion of this herb, steep 1/2 ounce Red
Raspberry and 1/2 ounce Red Clover in one quart of hot water for 4 hours.
Refrigerate the unused portion after cooling.
With each cup of this herbal infusion, add 5-15 drops of either
Dong Quai root tincture or False Unicorn root tincture. This will further
enhance the fertility effects of Red Raspberry.

Fertility Herbs for Him
Note that the fertility issues could be on his side. In that
situation, consider using the benefits of maca to
assist with improving sperm count and motility. Scientific research has shown
that maca achieves this without increasing testosterone levels, unlike some
other male supplements.
Lunaception
The process of encouraging ovulation using the power of light is
called lunaception. This technique works very well
when combined with fertility promoting herbs.
To establish the proper timing for ovulation, follow this
routine. Leave a light on in your bedroom for 3 consecutive nights about midway
through your cycle. All other nights should be total darkness. Get bedroom blackout curtains if
necessary. You will ovulate on the nights when the light is on.
