Fertility: herbal medicine as complementary medical approach FERTILITY: HERBAL MEDICINE AS COMPLEMENTARY MEDICAL APPROACH
Alongside the lifestyle and dietary changes you may find it helpful to try one or more complementary approaches, such as herbal medicine, homeopathy or acupuncture.
Herbs are the oldest form of medicine and have been used for healing all over the world. Reproduction and the rites surrounding it have always had a central role in traditional cultures so it is not surprising that herbal medicine is particularly rich in effective remedies for fertility problems.
Herbs are in fact the foundation of numerous pharmaceutical drugs. For instance, aspirin is based on an extract from willow, originally used for pain relief by Native Americans. Up to 70 per cent of drugs in use today have their origins in plants. But modern drug companies only use the active ingredient of the plant or herb, while ancient peoples always used (and still use) the whole plant. The advantage of using the whole plant is that the side-effects are absent or minimal. That is the big difference between modern and herbal medicine.
In traditional times, for instance, the foxglove plant (digitalis purpurea) was used for heart problems. In modern times, scientists have isolated the main active ingredient of the foxglove (digoxin) and put it into tablet form but in so doing have created a real risk of side-effects. By using the whole plant, the active ingredient interacts with all the other constituents of the plant which naturally include 'buffer' ingredients that counteract any side-effect. Herbalists believe this is the proper way to use the healing powers of herbs and plants.
The easiest and most effective way of taking herbs is in tincture form, using approximately 5ml (1 teaspoon) three times daily in a little water. Try to get tinctures made from organically grown herbs. In the liquid form the herbs are already dissolved. They are therefore absorbed faster so their action is quicker. In the dry form, the tablets or capsules have to be digested and the benefit of the herbs is only as good as your own digestive and absorption processes. Herbs are not like drugs. If drugs are stopped, the symptoms can return and you are back where you started. The herbs stop the symptoms but they are also addressing the cause at the same time, so the symptoms are being alleviated because the body is becoming more balanced.
The particular herbs listed below have proved very effective in balancing hormones and boosting both male and female fertility and conception rates.
