Fertility issues can be a big setback for a couple with plans for a family. A wide variety of emotions are involved besides the underlying psychological issue. And unfortunately, the most common treatment is hormone replacement or hormone balancing prescription medication. Although in many cases this is effective, it can be an extreme measure for many people because of the possible side effects. In fact, it is now a medical fact that hormone therapy can increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

So the question is... what options does a woman have that can increase fertility, without the risks of hormone replacement prescription medication?

Well, there are several natural and herbal treatment options that can aid in the fertility process. The most important thing to keep in mind is that not all treatments, herbal or otherwise will work for all women, and to maximize any fertility solution it is imperative to keep a very healthy body. Strive to take a full daily dose of recommended vitamins, minerals, water, and nutrients. Stay away from processed foods, alcohol, unnecessary drug use and environmental toxins (rush hour traffic can and does pollute your body with CO2).

Two herbs to start with for an overall healthy body is Parsley and Alfalfa. These herbs have a high nutrient, vitamin, and mineral content. They are key to making sure your body has enough iron, vitamin c, potasium, and zinc. Kelp can also help your body, and help regulate your thyroid.

For women suffering from endometriosis or PCOS, these 3 green herbs can really help get the body ready for pregnancy. In fact, if a heavy period accompanies these symptoms, it is even more important because these 3 herbs can help balance the calcium and iron loss that can occur during a heavy period.

Now, the following herbs have mild to moderate abilities to regulate hormone levels, and can aid some women:

Black Cohosh - this herb is very popular in Germany for womens issues. It may be able to increase natural estrogen levels in the body, without the harsh side effects of prescription medications. A womans body produces less estrogen over time and age...and black cohosh may be a natural way to increase these estrogen levels for some women.

Sarsaparilla - This herb is good at general hormone level regulation. It can regulate both male and female hormone levels, and is believed to be able to stimulate estrogen levels.

Horsetail - this herb is specifically beneficial to infertility problems due to Fibroids. Even though it is traditionally used as a diuretic, and can help with urinary issues of the bladder and kidney, it dissolves fatty cysts internally. Therefore, women with Fibroids can possibly gain some benefit from horsetail.

Evening Primrose Oil - This herb acts as a toner for the uterus, and helps increase the fertility qualities in cervical fluid. It also helps regulate period flow, and helps the health and strength of the uterus lining. Evening Primrose Oil works best if used between menstruation and ovulation - the first part of a cycle.
