If you are trying to get pregnant and are having difficulty, there is no lack of information or advice on natural herbal remedies for infertility. There are plenty of herbal combinations, regimes, acupuncture treatments, self-induced massages, relaxation techniques and fertility promoting foods which will help you achieve conception.

Herbs such as Green Tea, Ladies Mantle, Chasteberry (Vitex), Hawthorn Berries, Horny Goat Weed, Fenugreek, Maca Root, Panax Ginseng, Dong Quai, Nettle Leaves, Red Clover Blossom and Damiana are all extremely successful herbal remedies for infertility and have been used with outstanding results for thousands of years.

The fact is, these herbs work so well, that you need to beware of the fact that they can also be harmful!  Let me explain.

Often times when dealing with natural herbal remedies, we think because they are"natural" and derived from "mother nature" caution is not needed. Nothing could be further from the truth!

If correct amounts of any herbal remedies are exceeded, there may be damaging consequences just as with overdosing on prescribed medications. For instance, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, such as in Flax Seed Oil is highly recommended to promote fertility. When taken in excess, it can cause skin irritation, diarrhea, cramping, nausea and upset stomach. More importantly, once pregnant, overdoses of Omega-3 Fatty Acids can cause abnormalities in the baby.

Another example is Panax Gingsing which is commonly taken by men to help maintain an erection longer, increase sperm count and motility and raise testosterone levels which increase sexual desire. Beware of exceeding the recommended dosage as an overdose of Panax Ginseng can be dangerously toxic. Heart palpitations, high blood pressure, nausea, irritability and headaches are just some of the side effects inappropriate doses can induce.

Herbal remedies for infertility do work. Many couples have succeeded in starting the family of their dreams. Keep in mind herbs ARE a powerful natural medicine. Your dosage of herbs or medicines should never be increased. If mis-used, herbal regimes can cause you very serious side effects.

Herbal remedies for infertility should be treated with equal respect and caution as prescription medications.
