Herbal medicine is a non-invasive form of complementary treatment, which uses the healing powers of plants, flowers, trees and herbs to treat an illness or condition. As with other holistic treatments, herbal medicine does not treat the symptoms, it works on the person as a whole to bring the body back into a state of equilibrium. Herbalists will use active ingredients in plants to improve a condition while today’s orthodox doctor will use synthetic forms.

Herbal medicine has been practiced since ancient times and the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that worldwide herbal medicine is three to four times more commonly practiced than conventional medicine.

In treating female infertility, it is extremely important that the herbal medicines follow the natural rhythms of the woman's cycle. During your period, the movement of blood is emphasized so that the body can clear out the old uterine lining thoroughly, making room for a fresh layer. Immediately after your period, the blood is nourished so that the body can replace what has been lost. Around ovulation time, yin is supplemented to promote the growth of the new egg, and, following ovulation, yang is supplemented to give energy for the process of fertilization and implantation in the uterus. By following a woman's natural cycle, herbal medicines can help in each part of that cycle, correcting for irregularities that may be causing problems with fertility.
