When one talks of alternative healing therapies for curing problems like infertility, herbs take an important role Before we go deep into the matter, we need to have a clear idea about herbs and their roles

When one talks of alternative healing therapies for curing problems like infertility, herbs take an important role. Before we go deep into the matter, we need to have a clear idea about herbs and their roles. Unlike the Western medication system, the East has a long tradition of treating ailments with herbs. In Indian Vedas (Ayurveda), which are more than 5000 years old, there is wide mention of the herbs. Similarly, in the Chinese tradition, the practice of prescribing herbs to treat infertility can be traced back to 200 A.D. Some of the commonly known herbs are used everyday in all Indian homes for numerous reasons. To take for an example, garlic, taken on a regular basis, keeps bad cholesterol and high blood pressure at bay. Again, the anesthetic quality of cloves helps numb the digestive system, which reduces gastric irritation in chronic cases. Coriander seeds are considered diuretic and carminative. Saffron, ?the king of Indian herbs? is often used in menstrual problems.

Though Chinese herbs are well-known for their effectiveness in female infertility, US had a lackadaisical attitude to endorse the use of herbs for the treatment and most members of the country?s conventional medical profession demonstrate reluctance towards prescribing herbal remedies. But now, throughout the world, an increasing awareness about using herbs for treatment of infertility is gaining ground and the United States are not an exception to it as well. It has recently received more attention as it has been proved that Chinese herbal treatment in infertility is actually quite effective, particularly in older women who have problem of hormonal imbalance or irregular periods. One of the biggest advantages of this herbal treatment is that it looks to address both the body and the mind while curing the disease from its root. In fact, the herbs act in restoring the balance of the body and treating the person as a whole, not only the symptoms.

However, herbal therapies have been found to work best when several ingredients are used in a perfect blend instead of a lone herb. It also depends on the freshness and purity of the material that may consist of roots, stems, bark, flowers and fruits of the plant or plants. Herbs that are usually prescribed to treat female infertility include the following:

  • Black Cohosh
  • Licorice
  • Red Cover blossom
  • Wild Yam
  • False Unicorn root
  • Dong Quai
  • Chastetree berry

While searching for the best herbs for curing infertility one needs to bear in mind that the herbs contain fairly potent components and may act adversely if applied wrongly. Moreover, they may create complications when used in conjunction with randomly selected OTC drugs without consulting an herbalist or a naturopath. Besides some medical conditions as described below are not ideal for treatment through herbs:

  • Blood clotting problems
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Cardiac problems
  • Thyroid problems
  • Psychiatric complications
  • Past history or organ transplant
  • Past history of stroke

Another important part in herbal treatment includes the method of procurement. Despite the fact that the FDA does not control the herbal medications? production, the US Pharmacopoeia imposes some basic standards in the method of manufacturing of herbal products. Establishments for producing or selling herbal products that meet these standards are allowed to use their seal of approval in the form of ?USP Dietary Supplement Verified?.

The fact is that alternative treatments or holistic remedies do indeed give the best results for infertility. Conventional treatments are hardly able to deliver the satisfactory results and they come with many side-effects as well. Holistic remedies first tries to find out the real problem and then prescribes the best herbs to cure it. Chinese medications, acupuncture, exercise and diet are all included in the holistic remedy of infertility and because of which, the results are always positive.

How to get pregnant- An Insight

Have you ever wondered how to get pregnant? This question evokes varying responses from different people. Romance and emotion do play their part in the decision of having a baby. However, it is not uncommon to feel pained and frustrated, especially among the couples who are not able to become parents). Ideas of a kinky nature are bound to come to such couples.

Most newly wed couples take adequate protection against having a baby too quickly. However, in a matter of months, even as the duo is still getting to know each other properly, the eagerness to conceive a kid increases. This is hardly surprising, given the natural instinct of motherhood in ladies. A wife always wants to become a mother, since that gives her a sense of fulfillment. Thus, even in a fiercely competitive world, where the cost of everyday living runs into thousands, the craving for a baby remains high.

However, the females need to know how to get pregnant in a proper, healthy manner. The welfare and healthiness of both the mother and the kid, who would be seeing the light of the world soon, is of paramount importance. Hence, a careful perusal of the following discussion is necessary:

• Women should start preparing to become a mother, at least 3 to 4 months prior to the actual delivery,
• Holistic measures for the maintenance of good health conditions is necessary for both the mother and child,
• A soon-to-be-mother should completely shun smoking and drinking habits,
• It is of paramount importance that no drugs of intoxication are consumed,
• Healthy, adequate nourishment is extremely necessary for women at these times. This is because both the pre-delivery and post-delivery periods are generally rather stressful for them, and
• For maintaining the desirable health conditions, minerals, proteins (that are easy to digest) and minerals should be consumed in adequate amounts.

It is also crucial to pay heed to some other important factors. Some such factors are:

Thorough knowledge of one’s own body ? The period of ovulation in a woman is the ideal time for her to conceive a baby. Thus, she should be aware of the time of ovulation. There are, fortunately, many ways to find out what the time of ovulating would be. The ‘Post Ovulation Time’ (also termed the Luteal Phase) has to be estimated. This period, i.e., the time between ovulating and the date of commencement of the menstrual cycle, generally is fixed at 14 days in most women. The period starts after the length of the Luteal Phase, or 14 days after the occurrence of ovulation. There is an alternative way to find out the period of ovulation, which is based on the Basal Body Temperature method (i.e., the BBT technique). In this method, the temperature of the vagina is recorded by a specially-made BBT thermometer. This is done everyday in the morning. During the period of ovulation, this temperature rises significantly, and such increases can be easily tracked. For higher chances of conceiving a baby, sexual intercourse at these times is ideal.

When does sexual union helps in conception the most? ? This information is necessary, since it ensures that the sperms of the best quality enter the female body at the time of ovulation. Sperms should have quick reaction time when a woman ovulates. Hence, fresh sperm is required to be present in the body of the female immediately before ovulating. However, there may occur certain problems in the sperm of the males too. In such cases, men should not be releasing sperms, for a minimum of 3 days before the scheduled day of sexual union. These data is extremely important, in case you are wondering how to get pregnant.

The ideal frequency of lovemaking for higher chances of conceiving ? Among other factors, a correct estimate of the ovulation period in women and the overall physique of men determine the ideal frequency of sexual union. There is a school of thought that, sperm count goes down, with a resultant weakening of the male sperm, if intercourse is held everyday. Conversely, others tend to think that the male sperm becomes ineffective, old and stale (with much lower potency) if it remains within the testicles, due to prolonged periods of abstinence. It is generally recommended that, sexual union, during the period of female ovulation, should be held about once in every 2 days.

It is always better to provide holistic solutions to the question of how to get pregnant. Such an approach helps to gain an insight about the inner workings of our body, and the reasons for not conceiving earlier. It also comes up with several usable solutions to this problem, including medicines and herbs of Chinese origin as well as changes in eating habits and overall lifestyle. Suitable exercise methods and, if required, acupuncture is also recommended. Unlike the conventional methods, the holistic approach has no adverse side effects, and has a much higher chance of providing the desired results. Hence, in these cases, holistic approach works much better than conventional ways.
