Chinese medicine is very successful in increasing a woman’s chance to conceive. Chinese herbs for fertility address the underlying issues that lead to infertility. Chinese herbs can restore health when there are structural issues, such as a blockage in the fallopian tube, or fibroid in the uterus. Chinese herbs are also effective at addressing mechanical issues seen in infertility, such as scar tissue that blocks the fallopian tubes or Endometriosis. Ovulatory issues can also be addressed successfully with Chinese medicinal herb formulas; they can balance hormones effectively when ovarian failure is due to hormonal issues. Chinese herb formulas are especially helpful for older women who have the mysterious unknown causes for infertility.

There are several advantages to using Traditional Chinese Herb Medicine as an approach to improving fertility.
1.) Chinese Herbal Therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing potential by treating root causes rather than just symptoms.
2.) Chinese herbs decrease undesired side effects and accumulated toxicity from invasive procedures and drug therapy.
3.) Chinese herbs strengthen and balance the body so that IVF, GIFT, AHT and TET procedures are more effective. General health benefits and endocrine system balancing from Chinese herbs insures that conception may occur

There are several common patterns that can cause infertility that can be caused by one, or several, Organ systems. To a modern Westerner, the Chinese concept of Organs might seem unusual as the Chinese Medical concept of Organs lack emphasis on a physical structure. Although many terms used when speaking of Organs are similar to Western concepts, they do not refer to the specific tissue, but rather to semi-abstract concepts of interrelated functions. Each Organ system has an affect on the other Organ systems when it becomes imbalanced. These functions are not based on surgical discoveries, but on clinical observation of patients over many thousands of years.

Three Easy Steps to Conception:

#1 Tonify the Kidney

Deficiency is often a key culprit in infertility, especially for women trying to conceive in her 30’s and 40’s, and is not something that is recognized in Western medicine. Kidney Deficiency and Essence Deficiency are the most common patterns seen for women struggling with infertility. In Chinese medicine, the ‘Kidney Energy; is responsible for successful reproduction. Sufficient Kidney Energy is also necessary in the prevention of miscarriages. It is restored using Kidney Tonic Formulas, such as our formula Women’s Treasure Formula, that is nutritive and restorative for the Kidney

#2 Resolve Liver Qi Stagnation

The Liver Energy is responsible for menstrual blood, and is the main underlying cause of stagnation in the uterus; it doesn’t always manifest as a mechanical block that can be diagnosed, but, Liver Qi Stagnation could be a factor in fallopian tube blocks, endometriosis, or fibroids. It is important that the Liver Energy is soothed with Chinese herbs for successful conception. The herbs contained in our formula Free & Easy Wanderer will resolve Liver Qi Stagnation for infertility.

Move Blood of the Lower Jiao & Break Up Qi Stagnation in the Uterus

In Chinese Medicine, there is a functional organ system called the Triple Burner, or more specifically, the Triple Jiao; it has no comparable organ in Western medicine. The uterus & fallopian tubes are located in the Lower Jiao The energy of the Lower Jiao can be disrupted by a stagnation of Qi & Blood. It can also be complicated by dampness, another underlying cause of stagnation that cannot be addressed with Western medicine; this condition is often seen with fibroids and endometriosis. Herbs that move Blood and Qi in the uterus, such as our formula Stasis in the Lower Palace, help to clear accumulations and stagnation in the Lower Jiao associated with infertility.

Hormonal Balancing
In Chinese medicine, hormonal balance is created by proper Liver & Kidney function. There are also specific herbs that are phyto-estrogenic that can be utilized such as Chaste Berry and Common Sage, however, the overall health of the endocrine system must be addressed with herbformulas that support Liver & Kidney functions, such as Woman’s Treasure Formula and Free and Easy Wanderer Formula discussed above.
