1. FERTILITY HERBS

    

    

   Agnus Castus (also known as Vitex or Chaste berries)

    

    

    

    

    

   Agnus Castus       is useful for helping women with fertility problems. They come in berry form.

    

    

   Agnus Castus         is progesteronic and is one of the most important herbs for regulating female hormones. Plus they:

    

    

    

2. Increase the progesterone activity
3. Balance the  production  of hormones by the ovaries throughout the menstrual cycle
4. Help regulate irregular and absent menstrual cycles
5. Increase the production of breast milk

    

    

    

   You can also suggest Agnus Castus to a person  that is suffering the symptoms of per-menstrual syndrome. In particular it helps reduce breast swelling, tenderness, irritability, depression, and acne.

    

    

   When a person has low levels of progesterone, Agnus Castus could help. This  herb helps by cresting a hormone surge, which results in ovulation taking place.

    

    

   This herb should not be taken along with other fertility medications, even though this herb is considered safe.

    

    

    

    

   Agnus Castus comes in the forms of tablets and tinctures.

    

    

   Agnus Castus has proved itself to be a very useful herb for hormone problems for  thousands of years. It is in fact one of the most clinically studied herbs, tested for its ability to regulate female hormones.

   Agnus Castus has the benefit that it does not produce any of the side effects that a client might suffer if they were to use synthetic hormones. Unlike synthetic hormones, agnus castus works alongside the body's natural  hormone production rather than take over from it.

 

BLACK COHOSH

 

 

This is discussed in detail in a later section of this modulee, on treatment of menopause syndrome.

 

 

DONG QUAI

 

Suggest Dong quai to females who have fertility problems. This herb helps level the hormones so that ovulation results. However, this herb does not contain Phytoestrogens.

 

This herb is also useful for improving  the persons  metabolism within their uterus and ovaries. This  results in a stronger and more receptive uterine lining. 

 

Once the person has identified that they are pregnant, they should immediately stop using Agnus Castus. This is because the herb causes dilation of blood vessels.

 

Always be careful when suggesting the dosages of herbs a client should take. Sometimes taking too high a dosage of a herb can produce problems for a person. Ask the person to make a journal detailing how the herbs made them feel etc.
