Herbal help for fertility

Herbs can help to improve general health and readiness for conception, as well as being generally supportive during infertility treatment.

If you choose one herb for infertility, go for agnus castus. I use the herb agnus castus with my female clients to help balance sex hormones, which will encourage the ovaries to function normally. Agnus castus has been shown to restore hormonal balance and boost reproductive health in women. You can buy it in tincture form in health-food stores.
