Herbs For Fertility And Reproductive Balance
When a couple is having trouble conceiving a child for any reason, it can bring on great stress and heartbreak. In addition, it can make the couple desperate enough to try nearly anything to aid in the conception and birth of a child of their own. Before you try any of the more dangerous things that could harm your health in any way, consider some of the herbs that can help raise your level of fertility as well as restore reproductive balance. Practice common sense when using herbal remedies, especially if there are underlying medical conditions or possible allergies.
There are a number of herbs that can stimulate both the central nervous system and the sexual organs. These include catuaba, coffee and tea. In addition, some herbs work more for women and others more for men and should be considered for specific conditions and needs. Hawthorn works to strengthen a man’s erection. Horny goat weed increases sperm production and therefore can help with fertility. Cuscuta can help prevent premature ejaculation, which can help with fertility as well. Damiana leaf is most effective when used by women and is available in a number of herbal combinations. Siberian ginseng is helpful when used by either gender, however it is not meant for those who have high blood pressure or heart conditions of any kind.
While coffee is a stimulant herb and can increase sexual arousal by stimulating the central nervous system, it does deplete the body’s vitamin B and prostaglandins which are necessary for hormonal balance. It should be avoided or limited by women who are trying to get pregnant. If you find it impossible to stop drinking coffee, using dandelion root coffee can help to reduce some of the caffeine cravings. This is also high in both iron and vitamins. Tea made from dandelion root is also good for your kidneys and can help flush out bladder and urinary tract infections.
Before you get pregnant, you can raise your progesterone level by using sarsaparilla, Mexican yam and licorice. These should not be used by women who are already pregnant however. In addition to doing this, you can prepare your body for the pregnancy by taking a herbal medication that is sometimes referred to as “the Mother’s Cordial”. This has four herbs, squaw vine, squawroot, blue cohosh and cramp bark, and is typically used as a tincture.
Making sure that your body is ready for the rigors of pregnancy is important and good health should be established before conception. Making sure that you have a strong immune system and flexible muscles can have you ready for the coming months and all of the changes that your body will be going through, including birth.<
