Fertility And Naturopathic Medicine Posted: 07-25-06 21:47pm
There are many things that one can use to
enhance fertility. A very easy way to
start is by looking at the diet. You
must look at the diet of both partners and
optimize the daily nutrient intake.
Herbs are another option when it comes to
fertility but I caution you to consult a
licensed naturopathic doctor before
embarking on this route. Often people
think that herbs are 100% safe because
they are natural, but there can be side
effects and interactions if they are not
taken properly.
Lastly, acupuncture is an excellent
adjunct to many therapies. It is very
helpful in enhancing fertility and has
been studied numerous times in conjunction
with ivf & insemination.
All this being said I urge you to visit a
naturopathic doctor and find the best
therapy for you.
Yours in health,
