Fertility: Homeopathy and Natural Supplements That Help You Conceive

Introduction:

When there are difficulties with conceiving, people pursue fertility treatments. These treatments can be very costly and stressful. But natural remedies are highly effective and helpful. There are natural supplements that greatly aid in conception (fertilization). Despite advanced maternal age and various health issues contributing to infertility, natural supplements are beneficial.

Before adding any new supplements to your health regimen, make sure that you consult with your doctor to check for any possible interactions.

What Is Homeopathic Drainage?

Before trying to conceive, it is essential to take homeopathic drainage remedies for three months. Well-known brands of homeopathic drainage remedies like Unda and Seroyal would be very helpful. These are very gentle and safe plant and mineral-based formulations that help clear toxins from the cells, liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal system. Homeopathic drainage remedies go much deeper than herbal cleanses. It is deep cellular detoxification that heals any physical impediment that has been holding you back from conceiving.

What Are the Supplements to Increase Libido?

Libido is the desire for sexual activity.

• Fertalin is a product made from polyamines, naturally occurring and found in oats, cucumber, and radish. It is a supportive product for your sexual system that wakes up the libido and charges up your sexual energy. Even though your partner does not have any problem with his sperm count, anything that contributes to a strong sex drive is helpful.

• Ginseng is also helpful and serves the same purpose. It helps in improving erectile dysfunction. This should be avoided if a person is on cardiac or blood pressure medications. This should not be used during menstruation, and you should stop using it after ovulation.

• Another great supplement for low libido is horny goat weed to be used by both partners during the fertile days. It improves blood flow to the genital area.

What Are the Vitamin Supplements That Helps to Improve Fertility?

Of course, a good prenatal vitamin is crucial. Folic acid prevents neural tube defects in the fetus. Even if your partner does not have any problems with his sperm, he should take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement daily.

What Is the Role of Red Clover in Fertility?

A very vital remedy for maximizing your chances of conception is red clover infusions. This herb can be very helpful in overcoming any female fertility issue, such as blocked tubes. Red Clover, taken from day 10 after your period begins through ovulation, is a great fertility enhancer.

You make the infusion by boiling a liter or quarter of water and adding red clover dried blossoms to the water, covering and steeping it for at least 4 hours. After this, it should be refrigerated. Other forms of red clover do not work so well as the infusion.

Do not take red clover after ovulation occurs. I suggest taking 1-2 cups daily, morning and evening, on an empty stomach. It is a lovely tea to drink, relaxing and soothing. It can be sweetened with a bit of honey if you like.

What Are the Benefits of Fish Oil?

Purified, molecularly distilled fish oil made from small fish such as herring and mackerel is a good supplement for both partners when trying to conceive. It is an anti-inflammatory and has similar effects to Aspirin, which many fertility centers suggest. Both have slight blood thinning qualities, so aspirin and fish oil should not be consumed together.

Find fish oil that contains vitamin E to prevent it from oxidizing. Fish oil can be taken safely throughout pregnancy. Conventional medical studies show that children whose mothers took fish oil during pregnancy had better cognitive abilities at an earlier age.

Besides having great cardiovascular benefits, fish oil is wonderful for the skin and has positively affected fertility for both men and women. In many infertility problems, such as blocked tubes, endometriosis, fibroids, etc., fish oil can be very beneficial by arresting any form of inflammation in the body. You can take two capsules daily before sleeping with a light snack.

What Are the Supplements Used for Successful Implantation?

Implantation is the adhesion of the fetus to the uterine wall. This occurs during the early stages of pregnancy.

To encourage successful implantation, taking vitamin B complex and eating some pineapple core at the most likely time of implantation (between 5-12 days following ovulation) will help. Pineapple core contains bromelain, which is an anti-inflammatory and aids in implantation. Fish oil or baby Aspirin is crucial at this time.

Acupuncture, in addition to the mentioned supplements, has been proven to improve the chances of implantation.
