6 Herbs That Help with Fertility Treatments

In modern medicine, herbs can be used in combination with fertility treatments and a healthy fertility diet with other wellness solutions as well. Before consuming herbs check with your fertility doctor.
Fertility Herbs that Improve Fertility
- Red Raspberry leaf
One of the most common and safest tonic herbs used for those wanting to get pregnant is red raspberry leaf tea (Rubus idaeus). This tea helps tone the uterus, helps improve reproductive health, aids with constipation, improves contractions and may help prevent miscarriages.
- Stinging Nettle
The tea known as the uterine tonic, helps tone and strengthen the uterus for a healthy baby to grow in.
Stinging Nettle detoxes and cleanses your system of harmful toxins that may affect fertility. The bonus part of stinging nettle is that it has a calming effect that may help reduce stress.
- Dandelion Root
Taraxacum officinale, the common dandelion, made as a tea, is a natural liver detoxifier, and that is great for fertility since the liver helps process estrogen. It is also a mild laxative which helps for a gentle transition into a pre-conception detox.

PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility that is treatable. Licorice tea is effective at helping fertility for people with PCOS.
