Medical Video: Natural Herbal Supplements : Chinese Herbal Medicines & Fertility
You should not take herbal supplements while trying to get pregnant - except with a trusted herbalist recipe. In addition, you should consult with a doctor first, because how the herbal medicine works is the same as ordinary medical drugs.
If you experience problems or difficulties while trying to get pregnant and want to try herbal supplements, inform herbalists about your medical history. Because not all herbal products are safe to use in a number of conditions.
With regard to fertility, several studies have shown that some plants have good effects on fertility - but the study was only a small study. There are no large and valid studies that prove the relationship between herbs and fertility.
Some of the small studies mentioned earlier suggest Agnus chastus or chasteberry to balance reproductive hormones and normalize the menstrual cycle. Some herbalists believe that cohosh black (plant from Actaea with sharp berries and poisonous) can stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs.
There is little evidence that some traditional Chinese plants can improve fertility, when taken together with other fertility drugs such as clomiphene (Clomid). However, there is no evidence that traditional Chinese plants are able to work alone without the support of medical drugs.
Tell your herbalist later that you are in conventional medicine because herbal and conventional medicines can work simultaneously.
