Women looking to increase their chances of getting pregnant may be wise to investigate the wide variety of fertility-boosting herbs available to them. Certain herbs that have shown to improve fertility have been used by couples for ages. Investigate the following list of fertility-friendly herbs. Many focus on restoring ovulation and healthy menstrual cycle. Others help elevate estrogen levels, and re-balance female estrogen and progesterone, while soothing the nervous system. Herbal fertility treatments, particularly those using Western herbs rather than herbs used by practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, have a cumulative effect and are generally safe to use. Still, it is important to pay careful attention to your body’s response to all fertility remedies, including herbs. Talk to your doctor about the items you are ingesting, and discontinue use, if you notice an adverse and worrisome reaction. Most health food stores carry a selection of the most commonly used herbs.

Oat Straw – This herb gently boosts fertility, and contains a wide variety of healing properties. It can also be used to soothe your nervous system, build bones, and support ovulation.
